I have written my code in MATLAB and I need help from the forum on where things could be going wrong, my streamline plot appears not to be properly predicted and I am also not getting vortices on the corners of the cavity.

Please find code attached.

Please any help with code modification will be appreciated.

Thank you.

your M-file did not run, you have some errors to correct (Lx is not defined when used, normres is not defined, etc)

Thank you Filippo, I have corrected the error and the code is now running. I also attached the streamline plot for Reynolds number of 100.

Many Thanks.

if you are using primitive variables you must debug your solution (u,v,p).
The streamlines are just a post-processing that can be affected by some factors.
However, the figure you attached shows a quite regular pattern for Re=100.

Use a fine grid (for example 100x100) to ensure Re_h =1 and check the velocity profiles (Ghia&Ghia paper).
