A Computational Investigation of the Lid-Driven Cavity Flow

Abstract

The lid-driven cavity is an important fluid mechanical system that serves as a benchmark for testing numerical methods and for studying fundamental aspects of incompressible flows in confined volumes. These flows are driven by the tangential motion of a bounding wall. The lid-driven cavity serves as a benchmark for testing numerical methods and for studying fundamental aspects of incompressible flows in confined volumes. This article presents a complete study of lid-driven cavity flows, with the primary focus being placed on the development of the flow when the Reynolds number was increased. In order to fully comprehend the physics of flow, it is necessary to take into consideration not only pure two-dimensional flows but also flows that are periodic in one space direction and the whole three-dimensional flow.

Vortex generation due to multiple localized magnetic fields in the hybrid nanofluid flow – A numerical investigation

“…This work was important in view of applications as its importance could be found in photovoltaic crystal growth configurations. Al-Atawi and Mashat [ 13 ] described the importance of lid-driven cavity flows. These flows preserved applications in testing the authenticity of numerical methods and analyzing the confined volumes geometries consisting of incompressible flows.…”
