Abstract
Non-Newtonian lid-driven cavity flow is studied in a wide range of Reynolds numbers. The algorithm of mesh free characteristic based split has been extended for solving non-Newtonian flow problems in meshfree context. It is assumed that the non-Newtonian fluid properties obey Carreau-Yasuda rheological model. The results obtained from mesh free characteristic based split algorithm have been compared to the results of other meshfree methods. Results have been obtained for the velocity profiles at Reynolds numbers as high as 1000 for a Carreau-Yasuda fluid.Cite This Article
