Abstract: A numerical study has been performed to obtain combined convection field in an inclined porous lid-driven enclosures heated from one wall with a non-uniformly heater. The lid moves at constant speed and temperature. Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model was adopted to write governing equations and they solved using finite volume method. A detailed parametric study has been presented for different Reynolds numbers (10 ≤ Re ≤ 1000), Grashof numbers (10⁴ ≤ Gr ≤ 10⁵), Darcy numbers (0.01 ≤ Da ≤ 0.1), porosity (0.6 ≤ ε ≤ 0.9) and inclination angle of enclosure (0° ≤ φ ≤ 180°). It is observed that flow field, temperature distribution and heat transfer are affected by inclination angle of the enclosure.
