Vortex

I updated my code to support arbitrary geometries and fixed some more bug and was finally able to get some stable results for another nice problem: The Von Kármán vortex street Instead of a cylinder, I used a tilted plat, but it works nevertheless and is, imho, more interesting, because its no longer symmetric.

Lid-driven cavity

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

A small video showing my self-programmed cfd code simulating a lid-driven cavity flow. I used a 200×200 grid to simulate a fluid with Reynolds number of 500. The whole simulation took about 15 minutes to run on a P4. The visualization was done with Paraview, which produced the streamlines from the velocity field. I try [...]
