Natural convection in a horizontal differentially heated square cavity containing two vertical heat generating baffles is studied numerically. The baffles are assumed to generate heat uniformly at the same or different rates. Asymptotic steady-state results for the vorticity-stream function formulation are presented in the form of streamline and isotherm plots. The fluid flow, heat transfer, and average Nusselt number are investigated for different heat generation ratios and spacing between the baffles. Convection within the cavity gets augmented for increasing values of heat generation ratio. When the two baffles are located very near the cavity walls, an increase in heat generation ratio induces a strong buoyancy convective flow. When they are very close to each other an increase in heat generation ratio strengthens the innermost cell around the baffles, which in turn drives the global flow at a faster rate through a pair of intermediate inner cells. It is found that the blocking effect of the baffles strongly depends on heat generation ratio and spacing between the baffles. The heat transfer rate varies nonlinearly against spacing between the baffles, and the possible physical reason is given.
