Validation

In order to verify that the solution found in the AIM simulation is to compare it from results from Fluent. Below is the velocity contour of a lid driven cavity done in Fluent in a study called “Three Dimensional Lid Driven Cavity” by Ashok Sivanandham, Boris Makarov and Laith Zori.

By comparing it to the velocity contour created by AIM we can see they are very similar. There is an area of high velocity at the top of the box where the wall is moving and a medium velocity at the right wall. Also there is a spread of low velocity that sweeps the bottom left corner and goes up while there is a an area of very low velocity in the center.
