Numerical experiments with the lid driven cavity flow problem
The centerline velocity profiles obtained from the solution of the two- and three-dimensional representations of the lid driven cavity flow problem are compared for different Reynolds numbers. Two configurations were used in this study: a unit cavity and a cavity with an aspect ratio of 2; the Reynolds numbers ranged from 100 to 5000. A new method of extending the Jacobi collocation technique called spectral difference is developed in this paper together with a unique computational grid. In addition, an iterative method for solving the pressure problem is also developed.
