Introduction
Flow in a cavity with a movable lid, known as a “Lid Driven Cavity”. It is one of the classic and important problems in fluid dynamics. Due to its geometric simplicity and complex flow characteristics, this system is a suitable place to study the nonlinear behavior of fluids and phenomena such as roughness, turbulence, and heat transfer. In this case, the upper wall of the cavity is moving at a constant speed, which leads to the creation of a flow inside the cavity. This flow is influenced by factors such as traction, acceleration and boundary conditions and can lead to unique flow patterns.
Numerical solution of flow in Cavity with moving cover is challenging due to its specific complexities. There are different numerical methods to analyze this flow, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Description
One of the classic problems in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the analysis of the flow inside a cavity with a moving cap. which many researchers have investigated. This problem is due to the fact that it has a simple geometry. But depending on the value of the Reynolds number, different vortices are formed in the middle and corners of the chamber.
It should be noted that the formation of these vortices makes the flow analysis in this chamber interesting and attractive. The purpose of this project is to solve the flow in Lid Driven Cavity by coding in Fortran 90 using the finite volume method. And with the help of SIMPLE algorithm and solving it with the help of GAMBIT & FLUENT software and comparing the output results with each other and the data of the GHIA article. This project has a complete report of the solution process and output results.
After preparing this project, the report file, code and Fluent along with their output results will be provided to you.
