In this work the multiplicity of the flow configurations in a lid driven cavity with throughflow with respect to the flow parameters is investigated In the parameter range explored, the bifurcation diagrams corresponding to flow configurations exhibit an interesting structure, the number and connectivity of the branches showing substantial changes with the flow parameters. With the insight they offer into the flow, these diagrams may give important hints on how to design and operate a technical device that relies essentially on a lid driven cavity with through flow.
