Experimental Investigation of Subsonic Turbulent Flow Over Single and Double Backward Facing Steps

Abstract: Results are presented for flow patterns over backward facing steps covering a wide range of geometric variables. Velocity profile measurements are given for both single and double steps. The stall region is shown to consist of a complex pattern involving three distinct regions. The double step contains an assymmetry for large expansions, but approaches the single-step configuration with symmetric stall regions for small values of area ratio. No effect on flow pattern or reattachment length is found for a wide … Show more

“…Tables 2 and 17 3. of the inlet section of the reservoir, leading to the formation of a small circulation zone in 24 each upstream corner. This zone was not drawn as a two-dimensional circulation in Figure 3because dye visualization highlighted three-dimensional effects (vertical eddies); this 1 behavior is consistent with the observations of Abbott and Kline (1962). 2 3 Symmetry disappeared when increasing the length of the reservoir to 2.20 m. The jet was 4 deflected on one side of the reservoir.…”

“…The recirculation zones lenghts are defined where the velocity reverts the direction in these lines. This results agree with Abbott and Kline (1962), which measures the upper and lower recirculation zone lengths in a square profile duct with sudden expansion. For an expansion ratio of 1.8, approximately the value for ORACLES test rig, the author obtained the length of 10 H and 4 H. In this study these values are 12 H and 4 H, representing a good agreement.…”
