Abstract
The time‐split finite element method is extended to compute laminar and turbulent flows with and without separation. The examples considered are the flows past trailing edges of a flat plate and a backward‐facing step. Eddy viscosity models are used to represent effects of turbulence. It is found that the time‐split method produces results in agreement with previous experimental and computational results. The eddy viscosity models employed are found to give accurate predictions in all regions of flow except downstream of reattachment.

For the laminar flow, distributions of velocity and temperature with and without the effect of buoyancy force are presented and compared. For the turbulent flow, governing pa
The development of new aeronautic projects require accurate and ef®cient simulations of compressible ¯ows in complex geometries. It is well known that most ¯ows of interest are at least locally turbulent and that the modelling of this turbulence is critical for the reliability of the computations. A
