Abstract

The unsteady 2D Navier-Stokes equations on an unregularized driven cavity are solved in vorticity-streamfunction variables using Incremental Unknowns. Periodic asymptotic solutions have been found for Re = 10000 and Re = 12500.

    But yet, it appears to agree with the theory (see [16, page 13]) where wide eddies of each kind form out as the fluid evolves. Once and again, a benchmark for checking the accuracy and efficiency of NSE solvers [1,3,4,15,22,24–26,29,31,34,37,47], the lid-driven square cavity flow [38] becomes a benchmark for checking two-dimensional chaos in fluids [16]. First of all, four principles appear [26,27] at the genesis of small counterclockwise- or clockwise-rotating eddies:

    It should be noted that the initial fields have important effects on the performance of numerical algorithms. Some works [4] aim to obtain the steady state solutions of driven cavity flow at high Re using the incremental continuation technique to start their calculations. Since the purpose of this paper is to test the robustness and performance of the ISTEC-N algorithm, the same zero initial fields are used for all of the test cases.
