Abstract : Finite volume methods based on pressure-velocity coupling in incompressible flow has been evolved as the basic guideline and is successfully implemented in numerous industrial and aerospace fields. In our studies, we use this class of techniques for analysing flow inside the lid driven cavity. Our simulation analysis is based on the finite-volume method using non-uniform staggered mesh. An issue of storing and coupling pressure-velocity in finite volume method is solved by using SIMPLE algorithm are reviewed. Current works aim to study the formation of vortex for varied Reynolds numbers based on numerical simulations and its influence over mid-plane velocities as extending the length of the cavity. The simulation results are represented in terms of contours of streamlines and velocity plot.
