Abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate numerically the natural convection in habitat with with gain passive windows. The practical problem is simplified to an enclosure with localized heating from below or from one side or both from below and one side. Two dimensional equations of conservation of mass method. The results are reduced in terms of the Nusslet number as a function of the Rayleigh number, and other non dimensional geometrical parameters. The isotherms and streamlines produced for various Rayleigh number and geometrical conditions.
