Abstract The flow in a periodically-driven cavity is studied experimentally using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and the results are compared with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The experiments are carried out in a cuboid of 0.1x 0.1m x 0.02 m size with glycerol as the fluid. Measurements are carried out at various amplitudes and frequencies of lid motion. The planar velocity measurements are made at three different z-planes and x-planes. It is found that the temporal variations of x-, y- and z-components of velocities of the flow are periodic, with the imposed plate frequency as the More >
