چکیده
The numerical solutions of 2-D steady incompressible flow in a driven cavity are presented. The Navier-Stokes equations in streamfunction and vorticity variables are solved simply with Successive Over Relaxation (SOR) method. Using a very fine grid mesh with 1025×1025 points, the steady driven cavity flow is solved for Re 20,000. For accuracy, the iterations are carried out on the streamfunction and vorticity variables until the steady streamfunction and vorticity equations are satisfied with a residual that were less than 10−10. Interesting features of the flow are presented in detail. The driven cavity flow at high Reynolds numbers is discussed in detail in terms of physical and mathematical and also numerical aspects.

Comparison of three different numerical schemes for 2D steady incompressible lid-driven cavity flow
In this study, a numerical solution of 2D steady incompressible lid-driven cavity flow is presented. Three different numerical schemes were employed to make a comparison on the practicality of the methods. An alternating direction implicit scheme for the vorticity-stream function formulation, explicit and implicit schemes for the primitive variable formulation of governing Navier-Stokes equatio...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Flow and Heat Transfer in a Square Driven Cavity
A numerical approach called “SIMPLER” is used to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a square driven cavity. The two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations were solved and the results are depicted as contour plots of stream function, vorticity, and total pressure for Reynolds numbers from 1 to 10000. At the higher values of Reynolds number, an inviscid core re...

Numerical calculations of the 2-D steady incompressible driven cavity flow are presented. The NavierStokes equations in streamfunction and vorticity formulation are solved numerically using a fine uniform grid mesh of 601 × 601. The steady driven cavity solutions are computed for Re ≤ 21,000 with a maximum absolute residuals of the governing equations that were less than 10−10. A new quaternary...
متن کاملSimulation of Lid Driven Cavity Flow at Different Aspect Ratios Using Single Relaxation Time Lattice Boltzmann Method
Abstract Due to restrictions on the choice of relaxation time in single relaxation time (SRT) models, simulation of flows is generally limited base on this method. In this paper, the SRT lattice Boltzmann equation was used to simulate lid driven cavity flow at different Reynolds numbers (100-5000) and three aspect ratios, K=1, 1.5 and 4. The point which is vital in convergence of this scheme ...
