3D Lid Driven Cavity
- Problem description and numerical results in Oscillatory instability of a three-dimensional lid-driven flow in a cube by Yu. Feldman and A. Yu. Gelfgat, Phys. Fluids 22, 093602 (2010).
- Experiments: Experimental observation of the steady-oscillatory transition in a cubic lid-driven cavity by A. Liberzon, Yu. Feldman and A.Yu. GelfGat, Phys. Fluids 23, 084106 (2011)
- They used the finite volume method on grids ranging from $128^3$ to $200^3$.
- Aim: Efficient analysis of transition from steady to periodic flow.
Boussinesq equations on a sector North Atlantic model
- Problem description: In De Niet et al. (2007) and Thies et al. (2009), the steady hydrostatic equations for wind and thermohaline ocean flows were solved versus parameters. The domain is a 60 degrees W-E sector over latitudes 10N-74N on the sphere with a constant depth of 4000m. Flow is forced by a wind stress, a surface temperature distribution and a freshwater flux.
- Aim is to compute the bifurcation diagram of the flow in the parameter measuring the strength of the freshwater flux for a high-resolution model (down to 1/4 degree horizontally).
