Abstract
This work is concerned with the characteristics of incompressible viscous flow inside a two-sided lid-driven cavity with its two opposite walls moving with a constant velocity in parallel direction and in antiparallel direction by Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The model used in the present work is two-dimensional nine-velocity (D2Q9) square lattice as it gives more stable and accurate result when compared to two-dimensional seven-velocity (D2Q7) hexagonal lattice. The characteristics of flow problem are investigated for different Reynolds number and also for aspect ratio, K = 2.0 and 5.0. The formation of different vortices with the variation of Reynolds number for parallel and antiparallel motion is studied in detail. To sum up, the present study reveals many interesting features of two-sided lid-driven deep cavity flows and demonstrates the capability of the Lattice Boltzmann method to capture these features. © 2006-2014 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
