A Mechanism of Eddy Generation in A Single Lid-Driven T-Shaped Cavity
Abstract
The two-dimensional (2D)
steady, incompressible, Stokes flow is considered in a T-shaped cavity which
has the upper-lid moving in horizontal directions. A Galerkin finite element
method is used to investigate a new eddy generation and flow bifurcation. The
flow in a cavity is controlled by two parameters and which are associated
with the heights of the T-shaped domain. By varying and , the second eddy formation mechanism and the control
space diagram are obtained.
