Effect Of Perturbations On The Dominant Flow Structures In A Rectangular Lid-Driven Cavity With Particle Suspensions, Siva Bolisetty
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
The lid-driven cavity is a canonical problem in the field of analytical and computational fluid dynamics. This work is focused on a 2-D rectangular cavity with a length twice the size of its width and consists of an incompressible fluid with a moving upper wall/lid while the rest of the wall boundaries are subjected to fixed, no-slip, zero-velocity boundary conditions. The objective is to investigate the effect of perturbations resulting from particle drag and particle collisions on dominant flow structures of the fluid within this cavity. The dominant flow structures in a rectangular lid-driven cavity constitute a primary vortex, a …
