DQM to Simulate 3D Vortex Structure of Cuboid Cavity Driven Flow

Abstract:

The vortex structure of lid-driven flow in a cuboid cavity with one or a pair of moving lids is numerated using the differential quadrature method (DQM). According to the characteristics of cavity driven flow, the dimensionless governing equations and its boundary conditions used to describe the flow are established. Based on a non-staggered grid technology, the polynomial-based DQM is combined with the SIMPLE strategy to solve three-dimensional (3D) cavity driven flow. The suitable boundary condition for pressure correction equation on a non-staggered system is implemented and the continuity equation on the boundary is enforced to be satisfied. The 3D vortex structure distributions in a cuboid cavity are obtained for different Reynolds numbers and different driving modes. The analysis shows that the DQM is very suitable for the simulation of 3D vortex structure in a cavity.
