Numerical Simulations of the Square Lid Driven Cavity Flow of Bingham Fluids Using Nonconforming Finite Elements Coupled with a Direct Solver by R. Mahmood, N. Kousar, M. Yaqub, K. Jabeen

“…In this paper, numerical simulations are performed in a single and double lid driven square cavity to study the flow of a Bingham viscoplastic fluid. The governing equations are discretized with the help of finite element method in space and the nonconforming Stokes element Q~1/Q0 is utilized which gives 2nd-order accuracy for velocity and 1st-order accuracy for pressure. …”
