The FORTRAN CFD code 3DINAMICS has been developed to simulate momentum, mass, and heat transfer in laminar and turbulent unsteady three-dimensional flows. The code has been successfully applied to the simulation of several engineering flows, particularly we present four different ones: lid-driven cavity, natural convection in a cubical cavity, hydrodynamics in shallow ponds and three-dimensiona...

Unsteady mixed convection flows in a lid-driven square cavity filled with a fluid-saturated porous medium is investigated numerically. The two vertical walls of the enclosure are insulated while the bottom wall is cooled. The top wall is heated sinusoidally and moving at a constant speed. The governing equations are solved numerically by using finite volume method with SIMPLE algorithm. The res...

In the present research mixed convection flow through a copper-water nanofluid in a driven cavity in the presence of magnetic field is investigated numerically. The cavity is heated from top and cooled from bottom while its two vertical walls are insulated. The governing equations including continuity, N-S and energy equations are solved over a staggered grid system. The study is conducted for ...

in the present study, mixed convection laminar flow around an adiabatic body in a lid-driven enclosure filled with nanofluid using variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity is numerically investigated. the fluid around the body in the enclosure is a water-based nanofluid containing al2o3 nanoparticles. the vertical enclosure’s walls are maintained at constant cold temperature and the...

We present the large-eddy simulation of the lid-driven cubic cavity flow by the spectral element method (SEM) using three subgrid-scale models. Two spectral filtering techniques suitable for these simulations have been implemented. Numerical results for Reynolds number Re = 12.000 are showing very good agreement with the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) results and relatively good agreement wi...

We propose a new two-level nonlinear additive Schwarz preconditioned inexact Newton algorithm (ASPIN). The two-level nonlinear preconditioner combines a local nonlinear additive Schwarz preconditioner and a global linear coarse preconditioner. Our parallel numerical results based on a lid-driven cavity incompressible flow problem show that the new two-level ASPIN is nearly scalable with respect...

A generic nonlinear Maxwell model for the stress tensor in viscoelastic materials is studied under mixing scenarios in a three-dimensional steady lid-driven cavity flow. Resulting laminar and turbulent flow profiles are investigated to study their mixing efficiencies. Massless tracer particles and passive concentrations are included to show that the irregular spatio-temporal chaos, present in t...

We present different ways, coming from Finite Volume or Mixed Finite Element frameworks, to discretize convection terms in Hybrid Finite Volume, Mimetic Finite Difference and Mixed Finite Volume methods for elliptic equations. We compare them through several numerical tests, deducing some generic principles, depending on the situation, on the choice of an apropriate method and its parameters. W...

Numerical simulation of the bifurcation of Bingham fluid streamline topologies in rectangular double-lid-driven cavity, with varying aspect (height to width) ratio A, is presented. The lids on the top and bottom move at the same speed but in opposite directions so that symmetric flow patterns are generated. Similar to the Newtonian case, bifurcations occur as the aspect ratio decreases. Special...
