Mixed convection in a three-dimensional ventilated cavity with differentially heated side walls has been analyzed numerically by the finite volume method. The results are presented in terms of streamlines, temperature distribution and average Nusselt number; for two configurations (CH and HC) and different combinations of thermal controlling parameters namely, Reynolds and Richardson numbers. The obtained results show that injecting air through the cold wall is more effective in heat removal (CH configuration), compared to the case of where the inlet opening is placed on the heated wall (HC configuration).
