Froude number is found to be the parameter that determines the effect of body rotations on internal natural convection flows. Explicit forms of Froude number are determined for the cases of predominant rotation and predominant axial force. In a heated cylindrical container no significant convective effects are generated by rotations alone. Moreover, rotation tends to inhibit the flow and heat transfer generated by an axial body force in such a configuration. Insertion of radial vanes in the container eliminates the detrimental effects of rotation and improves he heat transfer.
