Numerical solutions are presented for the problem of steady laminar combined convection flows in vertical parallel-plate ducts, with linearly varying wall temperatures. Neglecting streamwise diffusion in the analysis leads to a parabolic set of governing equations. These are solved using a marching technique for an implicit finite-difference scheme with vorticity, streamfunction and temperature as variables. A constant wall temperature is applied after a certain height to mimic downhole conditions in an oil well.
