In this paper, the lid driven cavity flow inside semi-ellipse shallow cavity was simulated using stream function vorticity approach emphasizing non-uniform grid method. Three aspect ratio of 1/4, 1/3 and 3/8 were simulated using laminar flow conditions (range of Reynolds numbers of 100-2000). Pri...
