ABSTRACT: The lid-driven cavity is an important fluid mechanical system that serves
as a benchmark for testing numerical methods and for studying fundamental
aspects of incompressible flows in confined volumes. These flows are driven by the tangential motion of a bounding wall. The
lid-driven cavity serves as a benchmark for testing numerical methods
and for studying fundamental aspects of
incompressible flows in confined volumes. This article presents a complete study of lid-driven cavity flows, with the primary focus being placed
on the development of the flow when the Reynolds
number was increased. In order to fully comprehend the physics of flow,
it is necessary to take into consideration not only pure two-dimensional flows
but also flows that are periodic in one space direction and the whole
three-dimensional flow.
