Abstract (2. Language): 
Natural convection in non-rectangular enclosures is numerically analyzed in this study. Streamlines and isotherms are presented for different triangular enclosures with different boundary conditions and Rayleigh numbers. Mean Nusselt numbers on hot walls are also calculated in order to make comparisons between different cases.
