The present investigation deals with the numerical computation of laminar natural convection in a gamma of right - angled triangular cavities filled with air. The vertical walls are heated and the inclined walls are cooled while the upper connecting walls are insulated from the ambient air. The defining apex angle a is located at the lower vertex formed between the vertical and inclined walls. This unique kind of cavity may find application in the miniaturization of electronic packaging severely constrained by space and / or weight. The finite volume method is used to perform the computational analysis encompassing a collection of apex angles a compressed in the interval that extends from 5° to 63°. The height - based Rayleigh number, being unaffected by the apex angle a, ranges from a low 10(3) to a high 10(6). Numerical results are reported for the velocity field, the temperature field and the mean convective coefficient along the heated vertical wall. Overall, the matching between the numerically predicted temperatures and the experimental measurements of air at different elevations inside a slim cavity is of ordinary quality. For purposes of engineering design, a Nu(H) correlation equation was constructed and also a figure - of - merit ratio between the NU(H) and the cross sectional area A of the cavity was proposed.
