In this paper, the flow problem of constant velocity of a square cavity whose lid is solved and obtained a numerical solution on 2 grid levels, having 32x32 and 64x64 cells. Reynolds number of 1x102 , 1x103 was selected for laminar flow and 8x103 was selected for turbulent flow. The problem is identified in NavierStokes equations. The finite volume discretization is based on the numerical model. The simulated results are in valid agreement with those that are available in the given report. The numerical solution of these works are accurately obtained for this problem.

Analysis of lid driven square cavity flow of air with three different ranges of Ri and Re are analyzed using numerically. Adiabatic temperature is maintained at horizontal walls and isothermal temperature is established at the vertical walls in which the top wall is assumed to slide with a uniform speed. Finite volume method techniques have used to solve non dimensional governing equations. To visualize the flow and thermal characteristics, the control parameters, the Richardson number (Ri) and Reynolds number (Re) and in the range of 0.001 ≤ Ri ≤ 10 and 100 ≤ Re ≤ 400 are used for streamlines and isotherms.

The main objective of this paper is to focus on a numerical study of viscous dissipation effect on the steady state flow of MHD Williamson nanofluid. A mathematical modeled which resembles the physical flow problem has been developed. By using an appropriate transformation, we converted the system of dimensional PDEs (nonlinear) into coupled dimensionless ODEs. The numerical solution of these modeled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is achieved by utilizing shooting technique together with Adams-Bashforth Moulton method of order four. Finally, the results of discussed for different parameters through graphs and tables.

In this paper, Constrained Interpolated Profile Method (CIP) was used to simulate contaminants removal from square cavity in channel flow. Predictions were conducted for the range of aspect ratios from 0.25 to 4.0. The inlet parabolic flow with various Reynolds number from 50 to 1000 was used for the whole presentation with the same properties of contaminants and fluid. The obtained results indicated that the percentage of removal increased at high aspect ratio of cavity and higher Reynolds number of flow but it shows more significant changes as increasing aspect ratio rather than increasing Reynolds number. High removal rate was found at the beginning of the removal process.

Abstract The incompressible steady-state fluid flow inside a lid-driven square cavity was simulated using the mass conservation and Navier-Stokes equations. This system of equations is solved for Reynolds numbers of up to 10,000 to the accuracy of the computational machine round-off error. The computational model used was the second-order accurate finite volume method. A stable solution is obtained using the iterative multigrid methodology with 8192 × 8192 volumes, while degree-10 interpolation and Richardson extrapolation were used to reduce the discretization error. The solution vector comprised five entries of velocities, pressure, and location. For comparison purposes, 65 different variables of interest were chosen, such as velocity profile, its extremum values and location, extremum values and location of the stream function. The discretization error for each variable of interest was estimated using two types of estimators and their apparent order of accuracy. The variations of the 11 selected variables are shown across 38 Reynolds number values between 0.0001 and 10,000. In this study, we provide a more accurate determination of the Reynolds number value at which the upper secondary vortex appears. The results of this study were compared with those of several other studies in the literature. The current solution methodology was observed to produce the most accurate solution till date for a wide range of Reynolds numbers.

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.

This study of the boundary layer of steady, incompressible, plane, crossed-fields m.h.d. flow at large Reynolds numberReand magnetic Reynolds numberRmbegins with a review of Hartmann's case, where a boundary layer occurs whose thickness is proportional to (Re Rm)−½. Following this clue, it is shown that in general the boundary layer is a ‘local Hartmann boundary layer’. Its profiles are always exponential and it is determined completely by local quantities. The skin friction and the total electric current in the layer are proportional to the square root of the magnetic Prandtl number, i.e. to (Rm/Re)½. Thus the exterior-flow problem, the solution of which precedes a boundary-layer solution, generally involves a current sheet at the fluid-solid interface.This inviscid-flow problem becomes tractable if (Rm/Re)½is small enough to permit a linearized solution. The flow field about a flat plate at zero incidence is calculated in this approximation. It is pointed out that the thin-cylinder solutions of Sears & Resler (1959), which pertain toRm/Re= 0, can immediately be extended to small, non-zero values of this parameter by linear combination with this flat-plate solution.
