Аннотация

The present work focuses on flow inside a lid-driven cavity; main aim is to obtain the velocity field in steady state condition using Navier-Stoke equations. Navier-stoke equation has been converted into algebraic form using finite difference method (FDM). Pertinent parameter of the present study is Reynolds number. Stream-vorticity approach has been adopted to solve the physical problem. Different Reynold numbers and grid sizes have been studied. Peaks of the velocity profiles are increasing with increment in Reynold numbers. Counter rolling rolls has been found for vertical velocity contours.Cite this Article Siddhartha Kosti, Vaibhav S.
