In this paper, a chemical reactor for producing refractory metals was considered. A physical and mathematical model of fluid motion and heat transfer in a vortex chamber of the chemical reactor under forced and free convection has been described and simulated. The numerical simulation was carried out in “velocity–pressure” variables by using an alternating direction implicit scheme. The velocity field and the temperature distribution in the reactor were obtained. Parametric studies on effects of the Reynolds, Prandtl and Rossbi criteria on the flow characteristics were also performed. The graphs presented show that natural convection has a significant impact on the hydrodynamics of the flow and intensifies the heat transfer. Reliability of the calculations was verified by comparing the results obtained by another method
