In this verification case, a square cavity with side length L=1 m is filled with fluid and the top wall (lid) moves at a constant speed of V = 1m/s. It was modeled as a 3-dimensional problem with 0.05 m thickness, considering periodic boundaries. The stationary walls and the moving lid are modeled with no-slip boundary condition. Laminar flow was evaluated for a Reynolds Re = 100.
The lid-driven cavity problem is illustrated in Figure 4.5: Lid-driven cavity validation case.. It is the same case presented in [7] and the reference results are compared for verification purposes.
