SIMPLE SOLVER FOR DRIVEN CAVITY FLOW PROBLEM

This report presents the solution to the Navier-Stokes equa-tions. Standard fundamental methods like SIMPLE and primary variable formulation has Been used. The results are analyzed for standard CFD test case- Driven cavity flow. Different Reynold numbers and grid sizes have been studied. The results match very well with results from a benchmark paper.
