According to previous studies, such a layer is mainly subjected to two instability mechanisms: the transverse traveling (T-S) waves and the stationary longitudinal (SL) rolls. Recently, a new three dimensional oblique roll (OR) instability mechanism has been revealed, and it is found to be more unstable than two-dimensional TS waves for certain angles of inclination and Prandtl numbers. In present paper, the instabilities of slant natural-convection boundary layers with fixed temperature and iso-flux boundary conditions are investi- gated numerically. It is discovered that for certain angles of inclination and Prandtl numbers, three-dimensiona
