Numerical studies of unsteady conjugate natural convective heat transfer in the model of a thin-walled fuel tank are carried out in the conjugate formulation. The fields of temperature in liquid and in solid walls of the tank are calculated. The evolution of convective flows and temperature fields after a sudden supply of heat to the base of the tank is investigated. Flat layers of liquid enclosed between flat walls of different orientations with inclination angles of 0, 30, 45, 60 and 90 degrees are considered. With the angle of inclination of 0 degrees the outer surface of the side walls is insulated. The outer surface of the lower wall heats up suddenly, the outer surface of the upper wall is isothermally cold. The system of equations of thermogravitation convection in the Boussinesq approximation in dimensionless form, written in terms of temperature, vector potential of the velocity field and velocity vortex, is solved. It is shown that an inhomogeneous temperature field is formed inside the solid walls of the finite thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of walls and conditions at the upper boundary of the liquid layer affect significantly the spatial form of convective fuel flows in fuel tanks and laws of conjugated natural convective heat exchange.
