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.
