Experimental investigation on the characteristics of the air flow around a square prism located in a uniform flow with various angles of attack was carried out. Experimental results were obtained for the angle of attack from 0 .deg. to 45 .deg. and for Reynolds No. from $2.6{\times}^4$to $12.8^4$. Seperation and reattachment was occurred on the forward face (face AB). Reattachment phenomenon was not developed in the range of attack angle lower 13 .deg. . But, for the range, 13 .deg. .approx. 35 .deg. , the reattachment developed and its position was moved forward the angle of attack increases. Pressure distributions on the reattachment face has a maxium at the reattachment point and a minimum at the separation point. Pressurea on two back faces are nearly symmetric in spite of the changes of the angle of attack and are influenced by the turbulence in rearward flow field.

Reattachment characteristics of laminar flames in partially premixed jets are studied for propane fuel mixed with air. As the flow rate decreases, liftoff height is decreased nonlinearly and the flame reattaches to a nozzle at a certain liftoff height. Using a jet theory by taking into account a virtual origin, it is predicted that flow velocity along a stoichiometric contour has a maximum value near nozzle. With this velocity characteristics, it is shown that reattachment mechanism can be explained by a balance between flame speed and flow velocity. Predicted displacement speeds at reattachment and liftoff agree qualitatively well with experimental findings.

Investigation of flow characteristics behind a edged backward facing step is important for selecting appropriate positions of building constructions in the desert area. In the present study, the effect of edge angles on the flow characteristics is investigated using a commercial software CFD-ACE+. When the edge angle is less than 30 degree, reattachment length decreases, whereas when the edge angle is larger than 30 degrees, reattachment angle increases. It can be concluded that the flow patterns behind an edged backward facing step is classified as the two, streamlined and bluffed bodies. Appropriate edge angles have an effect of increasing the momentum toward the wall, which can reduce the reattachment length. It can be said that present results can be utilized for diverse industrial applications that includes the backward facing step.

This study is to analyze turbulent flow over a backward-facing step in a rectangular duct. The side wall effects on the internal flow were determined by varying the aspect ratio(defined as the step span-to-height ratio) from 1 to 20. In the flow behind a backward-facing step, separation, recirculation and redeveloping is occurred frequently. These phenomena appear in a particular variation by varying the aspect ratio. The results show that the aspect ratio has an influence on the velocity and reattachment length. When the AR is increased, the reattachment length is increased. For 6 over aspect ration, the rate of increase is decreased. The length of recirculation in the upper corner is increased, as the increase of aspect ration. It's width is not changed in the variation of aspect ration. The transverse, streamwise and spanwise velocities were decreased along the flow down stream of the step.

Investigating Backward-Facing Step(BFS) flow is important in that it is a representative case for separation flows in various engineering flow systems. There have been a wide range of experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies to investigate the flow characteristics over BFS, such as flow separation, reattachment length and recirculation zone. However, most of such previous studies were concentrated only on the perpendicular step angle. In this study, several numerical investigations on the flow pattern over BFS with various step angles (10° ~ 90°) and expansion ratios (1.48, 2 and 3.27) under different Reynolds numbers (5000 ~ 64000) were carried out, mainly focused on the reattachment length. The numerical simulations were performed using an open source 3D CFD software, OpenFOAM, in which the velocity profiles and turbulence intensities are calculated by RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equation) and 3D LES (Large Eddy Simulation) turbulence models. Overall, it shows a good agreement between simulations and the experimental data by Ruck and Makiola (1993). In comparison with the results obtained from RANS and 3D LES, it was shown that 3D LES model can capture much better and more details on the velocity profiles, turbulence intensities, and reattachment length behind the step for relatively low Reynolds number(Re < 11000) cases. However, the simulation results by both of RANS and 3D LES showed very good agreement with the experimental data for the high Reynolds number cases(Re > 11000). For Re > 11000, the reattachment length is no longer dependent on the Reynolds number, and it tends to be nearly constant for the step angles larger than 30°.) Based on the calibrated and validated numerical simulations, several additional numerical simulations were also conducted with higher Reynolds number and another expansion ratio which were not considered in the experiments by Ruck and Makiola (1993).

Flow and scalar dispersion around Cheomseongdae are numerically investigated using a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the renormalization group (RNG) $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence closure scheme. Cheomseongdae is an ancient astronomical observatory in Gyeongju, Korea, and is chosen as a model obstacle because of its unique shape, that is, a cylinder-shaped architectural structure with its radius varying with height. An interesting feature found is a mid-height saddle point behind Cheomseongdae. Different obstacle shapes and corresponding flow convergences help to explain the presence of the saddle point. The predicted size of recirculation zone formed behind Cheomseongdae increases with increasing ambient wind speed and decreases with increasing ambient turbulence intensity. The relative roles of inertial and eddy forces in producing cavity flow zones around an obstacle are conceptually presented. An increase in inertial force promotes flow separation. Consequently, cavity flow zones around the obstacle expand and flow reattachment occurs farther downwind. An increase in eddy force weakens flow separation by mixing momentum there. This results in the contraction of cavity flow zones and flow reattachment occurs less far downwind. An increase in ambient wind speed lowers predicted scalar concentration. An increase in ambient turbulence intensity lowers predicted maximum scalar concentration and acts to distribute scalars evenly.

The reattachment lengths of the Non-Newtonian fluid are investigated in the sudden expansion pipes whose ratios are 2.316 and 3.368, and the range of the Reynolds numbers is 100-30000. The reattachment lengths for the viscoelastic fluid in the laminar flow region are found to be much shorter than those of the Newtonian fluid, and decrease significantly with the increase of the concentration of viscoelastic fluid is two or three times longer than those of water, and gradually increases with the increase of the concentration of viscoelastic fluid.

In the current flow visualization studies, the role of non-Newtonian characteristics (such as shearra to dependent viscosity and viscoelasticity ) on flow behavior across the sudden ex- pansion step in a circular pipe as a model for blood flow experiments is investigated over a wide range of Reynolds numbers. The expansion ratios tested are 2.000 and 2.667 and the range of the Reynolds number covered in the current flow visualization tests are 10~35, 000 based on the inlet. diameter. The reattachment longuEs for the viscoelastic fluids in the lami- nar flow regime are found to be much shorter than those for the Newtonian fluid. In addition it decreases significantly with increasing concentration of viscoelastic fluids at the same Reynolds number. However, in the turbulent flow regime, the reattachment length for the viscoelastic fluids Is two or three times longer than those for water, and gradually increases with increasing concentration of viscoelastic solutions, resulting In 25 and 28 step-height dis- tances for 500 and 1, 000 lpm ployacrylamide solutions, respectively. This may be due to the fact that the elasticity in pobacrylamide solutions suppresses the eddy motion and controls separation and reattachment behavior in the sudden expansion pips flow.
