Dear everyone,
I've written a code for solving turbulent flow problem using k-eps model in complex geometry (boundary-fitted coordinate system). The code when run as a laminar producing acceptable result. But if I run it (in lid-driven cavity problem) for turbulent cases (Re=480000). The result is not correct. I took a rectangular cavity (angle of inclination =90deg) and for the mentioned Re, the program is generating a result what one would get in the middle of a of result that an unsteady code would generates (for the same problem) before it (unsteady code) converges. To be precise,the vortex after generating just below the lid-centre comes to the right wall and remained attached there just below the lid instead of going to the centre of the cavity. I have used high-Re model using wall functions and presently trying to solve the flow field only. The matrix is being solved using line-by-line TDMA technique and scheme is SIMPLE with staggered grids. Thanks in advance for helping me sorting out the problem. |

Have you checked the literature to ensure that the model you use accurately predicts lid-driven cavity problem? Also ensure that the first grid point is in the log-law region.

Y+ is kept in the log layer. The vortex is remained attached to the vertical wall Thank you. |
