A finite‐element method is used to solve the full Navier‐Stokes and energy equations for the problem of laminar combined convection from two horizontal cylinders in tandem arrangement. From comparisons with the previous theoretical and experimental results of a single‐cylinder situation, it is found that the behaviors flow and heat transfer in the upstream cylinder are close to those in a single‐cylinder, but this is not the case for the downstream cylinder.
