The study has been accomplished with three milestones to achieve the right solutions. For every milestone Navier-Stokes, continuity and energy equations are discretized by using finite volume method and grids with 52 x 52 control volumes. Results are presented Pr=1, Pr=7 and Pr=100. The effect of positive and negative Marangoni number on fluid flow and heat transfer at different Rayleigh number are considered and discussed.}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {Navier-Stokes Equations, Numerical Study, Square Cavity, Natural Convection, Marangoni Convection, Buoyancy-Driven Flow, Thermo Capillary Flow, Rayleigh Number} }
