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 study of the flow over a three-dimensional backward-facing step still provides interesting research when a new numerical method is developed and an investigation of the flow topology is performed. From a numerical point of view, accurate solutions are required, preferably with little computation
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
The study investigates the entrance effect for ยฏow over a backward-facing step by comparing predictions that set the inlet boundary at various locations upstream of the sudden expansion. Differences are most signiยฎcant in the sudden expansion region. If the geometry has an inlet channel, then shorte
