mogeneous isotropic turbulence, where the central difference scheme is used for
the spatial discrimination and four stage. Runge-Kutta method is utilized for the
time integration. High order approach of the KRLNS equations was applied to
two-dimensional numerical simulations of Womersley problem, doubly periodic
shear layers and three-dimensional decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence
in [4] [5].
The lid-driven cavity problem refers to the flow in a box cavity with no-slip at
the walls, one or more which move at constant speed. It has been used exten-
sively as a benchmark case for the study of computational methods to solve
Navier-Stokes equations, because the simplicity of its geometry and boundary
conditions. Numerous literature studies have offered the solutions for this prob-
lem by using the different numerical methods in rectangular or square cavities.
For example, in [6], the implicit cell-vertex finite volume method was described
to solve the steady and unsteady two-dimensional lid-driven cavity problem at
high Reynolds numbers. In [7], Chebyshev-collocation method in space is in-
troduced with Adams-Bashforth backward-Euler scheme for the time integra-
tion to calculate the solution of three-dimensional lid-driven cavity flows. The
finite element scheme based on the Galerkin method of weighted residuals of
unsteady laminar mixed convection heat transfer in a lid driven cavity is per-
formed in [8]. The vorticity-stream formulation of the Navier-Stokes equation
with the strong-stability-preserving Runge-Kutta (SSPRK (5, 4)) scheme in very
fine grid mesh was used for solving lid driven cavity at high Reynolds number in
[9]. For the problem of flow inside a square cavity with constant velocity, the fi-
nite volume method with numerical approximations of second-order accuracy
and multiple Richardson extrapolations is utilized in [10]. The compact finite
difference approximation is developed for non-uniform orthogonal Cartesian
grids in [11] for solving the stream function-velocity formulation of the steady
two dimensional incompressible lid-driven square cavity flow problem. The
numerical simulations of two-dimensional fluid flow and heat transfer in a
four-sided lid-driven rectangular domain have been preformed in [12], where
the quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinematics (QUICK)
scheme of finite volume methods was used and semi-implicit method for pres-
sure linked equations (SIMPLE algorithm) was adopted to compute the numeri-
cal solutions of the flow variables.
The main aim of this study is to obtain the approximate analytical solutions
for two-dimensional lid-driven square cavity flow problem, since most of the re-
search focused on the numerical solutions for this problem. Reduced differential
transform method (RDTM) and perturbation-iteration algorithm (PIA) are used
for this purpose for several reasons. The first reason is that both methods have
not previously been applied to resolve this problem. Secondly, these methods
can directly be applied to KRLNS equations. Moreover, these methods can re-
duce the size of the calculations and at the same time maintain the accuracy of
the numerical solution.
We have organized this paper into seven sections, of which this introduction
