The convection of water is investigated in the vicinity of its density maximum temperature (277 K) in an inclined square cavity in the presence of heat sources. Numerical investigations are carried out by maintaining one of the vertical walls uniformly at 273 K and varying the other wall between temperatures 275 K and 285 K at different inclinations angles. The isotherms, streamlines and velocity profiles reveal the possible existence of multicellular fluid motions, and bidirectional velocity distributions. These fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are significantly modified by the cavity inclination in the presence of heat sources.
