This paper is devoted to the computation of turbulent flows by a Galerkin finite element method. Effects of turbulence on the mean field are taken into account by means of a k--E turbulence model. The wall region is treated through wall laws and, more specifically, Reichardt's law. An inlet profile
Particle-laden flows are calculated for a classical laminar backward-facing step problem. The particle tracks are calculated using a recently developed exponential Lagrangian tracking scheme. The behaviour of the particleladen flow is considered for various inlet for Reynolds number, Stokes numbers
A numerical investigation of laminar flow over a three-dimensional backward-facing step is presented with comparisons with detailed experimental data, available in the literature, serving to validate the numerical results. The continuity constraint method, implemented via a finite element weak state
