Abstract: | Multiple steady-state solutions of natural convection in an inclined enclosure with a fluid layer and a heat-generating porous
bed is investigated numerically by the finite volume method. The conservation equations for the porous layer are based on
a general flow model which includes both the effects of flow inertia and friction. The flow in fluid layer is modeled by Navier–Stokes
equations. The method of pseudo arc-length continuation is adapted in studying the effects of tilt angle on flow pattern and
heat transfer. It is found that, in the whole domain of tilt angle, there exist two groups of solutions with quite different
flow pattern and heat transfer behavior. The effects of aspect ratio on flow pattern and heat transfer have also been studied.
