The driven flow in a square cavity is used as the model problem. Solutions are obtained for configurations with Reynolds number as high as 10.000 and meshes consisting of as many as 257 x 257 points. For Re = 1000, the (129 x 129) grid solution required 1.5 minutes of CPU time on the AMDAHL 470 V/6 computer. Because of the appearance of one or more secondary vortices in the flow field, uniform mesh refinement was preferred to the use of one-dimensional gridclustering coordinate transformations.
