Numerically predicted transient flow patterns and temperature profiles during natural convection heat transfer of a liquid in a uniformly heated cylindrical can were presented for the first time. A recirculating flow pattern was predicted inside the cylindrical container. The liquid was found to be stratified inside the container with increasing temperatures towards the top. The slowest heating location in the fluid was a donut‐shaped region close to the bottom of the can at about one‐tenth the can height.
