Schematic descriptions of the simulated self-similar cubic cavity flows (not to scale): original domain (D1) and its self-similar domains (D2, D3, and D4). Flow variables at specified time and space can be mapped to those at the corresponding time and space in the self-similar domains by means of Lie Group of scaling transformations. It is possible to obtain both larger and smaller domains by the selection of the scaling parameter β and the scaling exponent of length αx.
