Numerical Simulation of a Three-Dimensional Lid-driven Cavity Flow

  • Chapter
Numerical Simulation of 3-D Incompressible Unsteady Viscous Laminar Flows

Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics (NNFM) ((NONUFM,volume 48))

Summary

In the present work a multigrid technique for the solution of elliptic equations is applied to the Kim & Moin fractional step method [1]. The Navier-Stokes equations are discretized on a fixed step grid. This approach allows to obtain a very simple and fast code; furthermore there is no need of special smoothing operators to increase the convergence rate of the multigrid solver. The simulation has been performed on a workstation with a grid of about 750.000 cells.
