APS -70th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics- Event - Detailed study of fluid flow in a stably stratified square lid-driven cavity

摘要

A detailed numerical investigation of the fluid flow in a square lid-driven cavity with stable temperature stratification in a comprehensive range of Reynolds and Richardson parameter values is presented (with Prandtl$=$1). Special attention is given to bifurcation mechanisms of the base steady state. Frequency analyses reveal an intricate pattern of responses when buoyancy and inertial effects compete.
