The cavity problem always has been considered as a classic and fundamental problem. Specific materials like Bingham viscoplastic which is sort of Non-newtonian fluids shows resistance in a certain range of stress, calling yield stress, and almost acts like rigid body in this limited area. In case of increase applied stress, flows like fluid. Considering heat transfer in this type of material and investigate it, yield stress and viscosity variations with temperature as in practice we face will not be far-fetched. In the present work the numerical solution of the problem of Bingham material inside lid-driven cavity, investigating fluid flow and heat transfer in view of the changes in material properties has been done and results have shown with change in dimensionless numbers and parameters of Re=10-1000, Bn=1-2000, Pr=0.01-100 and E=5000-50000. In this study, using the finite volume method to discretize governing equations and the use of collocated grid, effect of viscosity and yield stress dependence to temperature compared with independence mode and then distribution of horizontal and vertical components of velocity, yield areas and flow inside cavity, center of vortex and then heat transfer due to the stream lines next to side walls, have been analyzed.
