Abstract :
Two-dimensional laminar incompressible flow governing equation is solved
numerically to gain insight into flow separation and recirculation of flow processes in
an L-shape lid driven cavity. Stream function vorticity formulation of Navier
equation is solved with clustered grids on physical domain. The hydrodynamic study is
carried out for different Reynolds number. It is found that at Re
center becomes independent of Reynolds number. Velocity contours are presented for
different
Reynolds number. The wall vorticity is sensitive in the upstream of the moving lid.
The skin friction coefficient is less affected at deeper cavity location.
