Abstract

This paper study the transient and steady state two dimensional flow patterns inside enclosures of different geometries . A comp-uter code is developed which uses a modified version of the Mark-er And Cell (MAC) numerical technique. Although the computer code is general it was applied to three configurations, viz rectangular cavity, vee-groove, and semicircular enclosure. The results are presented by velocity vectors which identify low and high velocity regions as well as flow circulation.
