This paper is about a separated reattaching flow over a hot rectangular obstacle. Two types of incoming flow are examined in order to show the influence of the external zone of the flow on the reattachment process. It comes about due to a wall jet and a boundary layer. The inner region of these two flows is similar, but their external regions are extremely different. The separating and reattaching flow phenomena are of particular interest in engineering fields such as for an aeronautical application. Wall jet flow over an obstacle occurs in many engineering applications such as environmental discharges, heat exchangers, fluid injection systems, cooling of combustion chamber wall in a gas turbine, automobile design, and others. In electronics cooling, the prediction of the Nusselt number distribution along the obstacles is necessary before the design of the apparatus. For a heated obstacle at a constant temperature, T = 350 K and an aspect ratio of 10 (L = 10 H), the problem parameters are: (a) jet exit Reynolds number (Re) ranged from 1000 to 50000, (b) incoming flow configuration (boundary layer and wall jet). The ratio between the thickness of the nozzle (b) to the obstacle height (H) are examined simultaneously. The formulation is based on the SST k-turbulence model. The results show that the increasing of nozzle thickness; enhances the heat transfer and considerably modifies the stagnation point location. The highest incoming flow momentum provides the greatest values of average Nusselt number. Such as the boundary layer case in comparison with the wall jet cases. The average Nusselt number is correlated according to problem parameters (Nu obstacle = f (Re, b)). C⃝
