Abstract: The dynamics of a fluid flow in a fractal domain is investigated in the present work. The driven cavity problem is used to test the numerical scheme. The cavity is represented by a square Koch fractal curve. Two levels of fractalization are simulated. The bi-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation is solved by the finite volume method for staggered and structured grid. All simulations are performed considering an isothermal system.
