Abstract

In this paper, the inertia effect of the moving lid on the steady flow regime of a two-dimensional lid-driven square cavity is investigated for different moving lid length using the lattice Boltzmann method. Here, the length of the moving top lid (L) is divided into stationary (Lx) and moving (L-Lx) parts, respectively. The characteristics of the flow regime inside the cavity are changed when Lx and Reynolds number (Re) are modified. It is noticed that when Lx and Re are increased the shape, size, and center of the primary, corner vortices are altered, and the flow regime in the cavity is changed from Type-I (one primary vortex) to Type-II (two primary vortices).
