A Study of Transient flow in a lid-driven square cavity

摘要

In this paper, lattice Boltzmann scheme is used to simulate steady incompressible flow inside a square cavity. Numerical simulations are carried out for Reynolds number of 100, 400, 1000, 3200 and 7500. The governing equation use is the double-population lattice Boltzmann formulation. Two-dimensional nine velocity model is used for the computation of velocity field. The results obtained are compared with the results found in the literature reviews. Present study found that lattice Boltzmann scheme is able to carry out equivalent results as conventional scheme.
