Flow in the Driven Cavity Calculated by the Lattice Boltzmann Method

The lattice Boltzmann method with enhanced collisions and rest particles is used to calculate the flow in a two-dimensional lid-driven cavity. The abilitity of this method to compute the velocity and the pressure of an incompressible fluid in a geometry with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions is verified by calculating a test-problem where the analytical solution is known. Different parameter configurations have been tested for Reynolds numbers from $Re=10$ to $Re=2000$. The vortex structure for a more generalized lid-driven cavity problem with a non-uniform top speed has been studied for various acpect ratios.
