Summary

This paper presents a numerical study of thermal instability in mixed convection flow over horizontal and inclined plates. The criterion on the position marking on the onset of longitudinal vortices is defined in the present paper. The results show that the onset position characterized by the Grashof number depends on the Prandtl number, wave number, and inclined angle from the horizontal. The results of the present numerical prediction show reasonable agreement with the experimental data in the literature.
