dc.description.abstract	The purpose of the present paper is to analyze numerically the flow and heat transfer by steady laminar natural convection in an elliptical horizontal annulus filled with a Newtonian incompressible fluid saturated porous medium, with an isothermal inner and outer boundary. This study is carried out using the Darcy flow model, Boussinesq’s approximation and the vorticity-stream function formulation, the continuity and the momentum equations are expressed. A computer code was developed, using finite volume method. The stream lines and temperature distributions are presented and analyzed, examining the slope effect
