Abstract

The streamfunction-vorticity equations for two-dimentional cavity flow are solved by a new finite element method which uses finite spectral basis functions as interpolation functions for rectangular elements. Results for several cases with different Renold's number are compared with benchmark solutions and found to be in well agreement.
