The dynamics of a fully three-dimensional lid-driven cubical cavity (3D-LDC) flow at several post-critical conditions, i.e., beyond the first bifurcation, are elucidated using both linear and nonlinear analyses. When Reynolds number is increased critical value, symmetry breaks down intermittently with subsequent gradual growth in spanwise inhomogeneity. This results crossflow as well pronounced...

ÐHighly-accurate solutions for the lid-driven cavity ̄ow are computed by a Chebyshev collocation method. Accuracy of the solution is achieved by using a substraction method of the leading terms of the asymptotic expansion of the solution of the Navier±Stokes equations in the vicinity of the corners, where the velocity is discontinuous. Critical comparison with former numerical experiments con®r...

In this study we have used a convergent and highly accurate mixed finite element technique to model the effect of fluid elasticity on the flow kinematics and the stress distribution in lid driven cavity flow. Our work is motivated by the desire to capture the important physical aspects of the basic flow and thus to better understand the purely elastic instability in recirculating flows which ha...

The lid-driven cavity is an important fluid mechanical system that serves as a benchmark for testing numerical methods and studying fundamental aspects of incompressible flow in confined volume. This paper concerned with the calculation LDC on 2-D 3-D model. commercial software ANSYS Fluent was used simulation. In these models simulated cases, lid moves x-direction. solutions driven are calcula...

Both Fourier and wavelet transforms are performed on data obtained from large-eddy simulations of the turbulent flow in a lid-driven cubical cavity. The analyzed data or synthetic signals are picked at three specific points inside the cavity allowing to investigate three regimes over time: laminar, transitional and turbulent. The main objective of this study is to generate and analyze synthetic...

Our recent efforts focusing on improving the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) are introduced, including an incompressible LB model without compressible effect, a flexible thermal LBM with simple structure for Bousinesq fluids, and a robust boundary scheme. We use them to simulate the lid-driven cavity flow at Reynolds numbers 5000–50000, the natural convection due to internal heat generation in a...

Differences between Navier-Stokes-Fourier (NSF) slip/jump solutions and direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) computations are highlighted for a micro lid-driven cavity problem. The results indicate a need for better modelling techniques which at the same time retain low computational cost of NSF models. We also highlight the fact that many micro-flows that have been considered are simple planar...

Numerical study on the effect of inclination angle with sinusoidal heating on top moving lid in two-dimensional square cavity is investigated. The top lid is heated sinusoidally while the bottom wall is maintained at cold temperature. The vertical walls are insulated and the cavity is filled with water. Finite volume method and SIMPLE algorithm are employed to solve the dimensionless governing ...
