In this paper, a lattice Boltzmann model is developed and then parallelized employing a Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) capable nVIDIA GPU platform. Numerical algorithms are developed for the solution of 3D single and two-sided non-facing lid-driven (TSNFL) cavity flow for Re = 10–1000. The algorithms are verified by solving both steady and unsteady 3D cavity and 3D TSNFL flow problems. Excellent agreement is obtained between numerical predictions and results available in literature. The results show that the CUDA-enabled LBM code is computationally efficient. It is observed that the implementation of LBM on a GPU allows at least thirty million lattice updates per second for 3-D lid driven cavity flow. Computations have been carried out for a 2-D lid driven cavity flow too. It is revealed that LBM-GPU calculation achieves 641 million lattice updates per second for the 2-D lid driven cavity flow.

Incompressible 2-D Navier-stokes equations for various values of Reynolds number with and without partial slip conditions are studied numerically. The Lid-Driven cavity (LDC) with uniform driven lid problem is employed with vorticity - Stream function (VSF) approach. The uniform mesh grid is used in finite difference approximation for solving the governing Navier-stokes equations and developed MATLAB code. The numerical method is validated with benchmark results. The present work is focused on the analysis of lid driven cavity flow of incompressible fluid with partial slip conditions (imposed on side walls of the cavity). The fluid flow patterns are studied with wide range of Reynolds number and slip parameters.
