Investigation of Taylor-Görtler-like Vortices Using the Parallel Consistent Splitting Scheme
Symmetric Taylor-Görtler-like vortices at Re=3200 and 5000 in 3D rectangular
cavities with a moving top lid are studied numerically and tested with a
spanwise aspect ratio of 1 : 1 : L, where L=1, 2, 3. Solutions are obtained by solving
the momentum equations and the continuity equations using the consistent
splitting scheme. The code presented here was ported to the Parallel Interoperable
Computational Mechanics System Simulator (PICMSS). Stable solutions are
obtained as limit cases of the transients.
