Flow in a Driven Cavity in 3D

The first figure shows velocity isosurfaces. The first figure shows velocity isosurfaces.
Second figure shows color coded velocity magnitude on four cut planes (yz, the forcing condition is in z-direction). Second figure shows color coded velocity magnitude on four cut planes (yz, the forcing condition is in z-direction).
Third figure shows pressure isocontours. Third figure shows pressure isocontours.
The last figure shows velocity vectors. The last figure shows velocity vectors.

In this page simulation results of the driven cavity flow in 3D with Reynolds number Re=100 are shown. The flow was assumed incompressible. The ElmerSolver uses a stabilized finite element formulation to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In these simulations trilinear brick finite elements were used.

If you want to reproduce the results, download the file Cavity3D.tar.gz and follow the instructions in the file README. You should have the Elmer package installed in your computer, however.
