Benchmark of 2D lid driven cavity
|
The Fluent package 6.1.18 has been used to solve the steady Navier-Stokes equations for two dimensional flow in a square driven cavity for a range of Reynolds number from 100 to 10,000. This numerical benchmark concerns 2 dimensional problem where the up lid of Plexiglass cavity is in moving with different velocity which is depended from Reynolds number. The driven flow in a square cavity is used to as the model problem. Solution was obtained for configuration with Reynolds number as high as 10,000 and meshes consisting of as many as 257 * 257 points. The problem considered steady plate flow of an incompressible viscous fluid in two - dimensional square cavity in with motion is driven by uniform translation of the upper wall which moves across the cavity from left to right at a speed depended on Re numbers. The value of Reynolds number which is depending on this velocity reported below.
