Abstract

Incompressible unsteady laminar flow of a micropolar fluid in a lid driven square cavity has been examined numerically with finite difference scheme. In this paper, we verify the code validation of Newtonian incompressible fluid (K = 0) with standard bench mark problem in the literature and then proceed the present computation. The vorticity-stream function formulation of Navier-Stokes equations and angular momentum equation is solved by the Euler’s explicit method. The effect of various values of Reynolds number (Re) and vortex viscosity parameter (K) of the flow characteristics is studied and discussed through several graphs.
