This paper presents a numerical investigation of the laminar mixed convection flow of a radiating gas in an inclined lid-driven cavity. The fluid is treated as a gray, absorbing, emitting, and scattering medium. The governing differential equations including continuity, momentum and energy are solved numerically by the computational fluid dynamics techniques (CFD) to obtain the velocity and tem...

the fluid flow and heat transfer in lid-driven enclosures filled with cu-water nanofluid is numerically investigated. the moving vertical walls of the enclosure  are maintained in a constant temperature, while the horizontal walls are insulated. the hybrid scheme is used to discretize the convection terms and simpler algorithm is adopted to couple the velocity field and pressure in the momentum...

Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is used to simulate the lid driven cavity flow to explore the mechanism of non-Newtonian fluid flow. The power law model is used to represent the class of non-Newtonian fluids (shear-thinning and shear-thickening fluids) by considering a range of 0.8 to 1.6. Investigation is carried out to study the influence of power law index and Reynolds number on the variation...

A minimal kinetic model is used to study analytically and numerically flows at a mi-crometer scale. Using the lid-driven microcavity as an illustrative example, the interplay between kinetics and hydrodynamics is quantitatively visualized. The validity of various theories of non-equilibrium thermodynamics of flowing systems is tested in this nontrivial microflow.

The stability of flow in a lid-driven cavity is investigated using an accurate numerical technique based on a hybrid scheme with spectral collocation and high-order finite differences. A global stability analysis is carried out and critical parameters are identified for various aspect ratios. It is found that while there is reasonable agreement with the literature for the critical parameters le...

This study is motivated by three-dimensional ows about protrusions and cavities with an arbitrary angle between the external ow and rigid elements. The novel type of a \building block" cavity ow is proposed where the cavity lid moves along its diagonal (Case A). The proposed case is taken as a typical representative of essentially three-dimensional highly separated vortical ows having simple si...
