CAVITY_FLOW_MOVIE
Driven Cavity Flow Animation

CAVITY_FLOW_MOVIE is a MATLAB program which produces an animation of the velocity solutions to a time-dependent incompressible parameterized flow problem in a 2D driven cavity.

The "CAVITY" region is the unit square, [0,1]x[0,1], open on the top, along which a tangential flow is specified, with walls along the sides and bottom.

Related Data and Programs:

CAVITY_FLOW_DISPLAY, a MATLAB program which displays a single solution of the cavity flow problem.

FILE_NAME_SEQUENCE, a MATLAB program which demonstrates four ways to generate a sequence of filenames.

MP4, a data directory which contains the animation of the driven cavity data created by this routine.

PEAK_MOVIE, a MATLAB program which creates the pieces of an animation, one frame at a time. Each frame is independently created and saved as a JPEG file.

VELOCITY_ARROWS_GRID, a MATLAB program which reads files of node and velocity data, and, using interpolation, creates a vector plot with arrows place on a uniform grid of the user's specification.

Source Code:

• cavity_flow_jpeg.m, is a MATLAB M script file which reads EACH velocity file, displaying the normalized or unnormalized field, and making a JPEG image, for later assembly into an animation.
• cavity_flow_movie.m, is a MATLAB M script file which can read the XY coordinate file and all the time dependent velocity files, and create an animation. It displays either the velocity or direction field, depending on the internal value of the logical parameter normalized. To keep this script happy, the "#" comment lines were removed from the XY file.
• cavity_flow_png.m, is a MATLAB M script file which reads EACH velocity file, displaying the normalized or unnormalized field, and making a PNG image, for later assembly into an animation.
