The effects of inertia on the structure of viscous corner eddies
Abstract
Viscous eddies in the region close to a sharp corner are examined. The asymmetry in their structure that is apparent in numerical solutions for moderate values of the Reynolds number is derived analytically. A comparison is given with previous numerical studies and the agreement is found to be good. Some numerical verification of the analytical results is obtained from a study of the driven cavity flow problem for Reynolds numbers in the range 0-1000.
