Abstract: The present work is aimed to study the fluid flow and heat transfer behaviour in an oscillating lid-driven cavity using finite volume method by developing a two-dimensional computational model. Firstly, the developed computational model is validated by comparing our numerical results with that of the other researcher's results for the case of wall moving with finite motion. Next, the simulations are conducted for oscillating cavity problem with top wall oscillation for Reynolds number (Re =5 00) and frequency (?=2?/6). Later, the simulations are carried out for cases of oscillating parallel wall (upper and lower walls oscillating with sync) and oscillating anti-parallel wall (upper and lower walls oscillating with reverse sync) with the same optimum frequency and fixed Reynolds number (Re = 500). Secondly, the same optimum frequency is used to study the heat transfer characteristics in an oscillating lid-driven square cavity with heated top wall and lower cold wall for various Reynolds numbers (Re = 100-1000) and Prandtl numbers (Pr = 0.2 to 1.0). From this study, it is found that for high Prandtl number case (Pr = 1.0) the flow of high temperature isotherms inside the cavity is more when compared with low Prandtl number cases due to increase in molecular diffusion of momentum. 2018 International Information and Engineering Technology Association.
