We present some details of the steady laminar flow fields that are generated in a fluid filled cavity by the motion of one of the faces. The flow fields have been obtained by the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in the Reynolds number range 0 lt; Re lt; 1000. The streamline patterns clearly indicate the very complicated nature of the eddy structures and their dependence on Reynolds number. Further work is currently in progress to extend the computations to higher Reynolds numbers in order that transition and turbulence in the cavity may be studied
