Flow Separation and Reattachment over Backward-Facing Steps
Abstract
Flow Separation and Reattachment over Backward-Facing Steps Otuami Obiga1* Abstract This study investigated flow separation and reattachment characteristics over a backward-facing step under turbulent flow conditions using a numerical approach based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations. The objective was to examine the influence of Reynolds number on reattachment length, pressure recovery, and turbulence behavior downstream […]
