Spring 2012

Consider the simplified driven cavity problem. Using standard central difference approximations, obtain solutions of this equation for low values of Re. Demonstrate that there are convergence problems for increasing Re and that these can be cured using forward-backward (upwind-downwind) algorithm. Plot contours of u. Take mesh sizes 101x151 and 201x301.
