On the Flow Characteristics behind a Backward-facing Step and the Design of a New Axisymmetric Model for their Study

An extensive review was made to study the wake characteristics of a backward-facing step. Experimental and numerical studies of the backward-facing step suggest that the wake of a separated shear layer to be dependent on parameters such as: expansion ratio, aspect ratio, free stream turbulence inten...
