Abstract
A numerical investigation of interactions oflaminar and turbulent natural convection and radiation in a differentially heated square enclosure was performed. Songray gas radiation was analyzed with the P^-approximation method for the radiative transfer equation and the weighted sum of gray gases model, A desirable compatibility was achieved in the resultant formulation for radiative transfer with the governing equations for natural convection flows. The Favre-averaged formulation was employed for analyzing turbulent flows together with a k-e model. In the analysis, a two-dimensional enclosure filled with carbon dioxide gas was considered. Solutions were obtained for a range of Grashof numbers and Prandtl numbers varying from 10

to 10

Characteristics of flow and temperature fields were compared with predictions in the literature and were found to be in good agreement in general.
