Abstract:In this study, the flow of non-Newtonian fluid inside the lid-driven cavity with obstacle(s) is examined. The behavior of the fluid is described by the Ostwald-de Waele or power-law model. The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) with a multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) collision model is employed to simulate complex fluid flows around the circular and square obstacles embedded inside a cavity. The stability of the present MRT-LBM algorithm in terms of so-called, cell-Reynolds number is investigated. The physics of flo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
