Study of Flow Behaviour in Triangular Cavity
Abstract
In this paper, fluid flow behaviour of steady incompressible flow inside a triangular cavity was studied. Numerical calculations were done for three types of triangular cavity. The numerical investigations were conducted for different Reynolds numbers by using lattice Boltzmann scheme. The governing equation used is the double-population lattice Boltzmann formulation. On the other hand, two-dimensional nine velocity model was used for the computation of velocity field. The results obtained were compared with the results found in the literature reviews. Present study found that the flow patterns are significantly affected by the triangle geometry.
