Abstract In this work, the 2D lid-driven cavity flow of non-Newtonian Carreau fluids has been studied by finite difference method on a staggered grid. A finite-difference algorithm on staggered grid based on projection method is adopted to solve the lid-driven cavity flow, which includes a second-order central difference scheme for the non-Newtonian viscous stress term. This study has been conducted for the certain pertinent parameters of Reynolds number (Re=100-1000), power-law index (n=0.6-1.4). The results show that as the Reynolds number increases, the influence of the power-law index on the flow increases. As the power-law index decreases, the flow field becomes more complicated.
