Heat transfer due to natural convection in an inclined square cavity using the lattice Boltzmann equation method

► The lattice Boltzmann equation method is used to study natural convection in an inclined square cavity. ► The Nusselt number has a power law dependence with respect to the Rayleigh number for fixed inclination angles. ► The angle of inclination was varied from 0 to 360°. ► Hysteresis is found as the angle of inclination changes.
