This study presents numerical prediction of natural convection heat transfer inside an inclined square cavity with perfectly conducting boundary conditions for the top and bottom walls. The lattice Boltzmann scheme with uniform mesh resolution was applied as a numerical research tool. The inclination angels were varied from 20° to 160° with 20° intervals.
