on cavity driven flow

hi there,
i have coded a progrom to simulate the flow in a rectangular cavity. the problem is formulated in vorticity-stream function. i employed the method of false transient and solutions were obtained for various Re numbers. to my surprise, for Re>100(upwind scheme is used for Re>100), i obtained two different solutions for each Re by using different time step. i checked for the continuity equation and it is satisfied for both solutions. can this be true or is it a kind of bifurcations? please advise. thanks in advance. regards, yfyap |

One of possibility is upwind method is explicit scheme, so it has CFL condition which is restricted by Re number.

Sorry, there is only one solution for each Re nunber. Was your system truly converged in both cases?

(1). Check out your code on a simpler check case first. (2). What is your "false transient" method?
