(Regularized) Driven Cavity (II) at low Reynolds number (height 1, width 1 of the cavity)

(Regularized) Driven Cavity calculation in a unit square of height, starting from rest. We only prescribe inhomogeneous boundary data at the top and bottom. For the underlying Reynolds number, Re=5,000, the observed flow gets steady. This simulation is part of a Software-Praktikum at the University of Heidelberg in 1997/1998, with the aim to compare different Driven Cavity configurations. See the corresponding pages in the 'Virtual Album'.
