Abstract Mathematical simulation of convective-conductive-radiative heat transfer in a cubical cavity filled with diathermanous medium has been carried out. The domain of interest is a closed volume having heat-conducting solid walls of finite thickness with diffuse grey inner surfaces. The outer surfaces of two vertical walls are isothermal while the other walls are adiabatic. The boundary-value problem has been formulated in dimensionless variables such as “vector potential-vorticity vector-temperature’’ in the Boussinesq approximation and taking into account the diathermancy of the continuous medium. An analysis of surface thermal radiation has been conducted on the basis of the net-radiation method in the form of Poljak. The formulated transient boundary-value problem has been solved by finite difference method in a wide range of the Rayleigh number, thermal conductivity ratio and surface emissivity. Correlations for the average convective and radiative Nusselt numbers at the characteristic internal solid-fluid interface have been obtained. The comparison between the obtained three-dimensional results and the two-dimensional data has been conducted. It has been found, that on the basis of a three-dimensional model it is possible to analyze the formation of intensive transverse flows from two vertical surfaces which are absent in a two-dimensional model. It has been also shown, that the solution of convective-radiative heat transfer problems in the conjugate statement leads to essential changes in distributions of local and integral parameters in comparison with the non-conjugate model, which first of all is related to a more correct description of the thermal radiation in diathermanous media due to taking into account the thermal conduction of the solid walls.
