Abstract
The flow and convective heat transfer characteristics over a backward-facing step were investigated numerically and experimentally. Two different step-heights were studied for different Reynolds numbers. The point of reattachment of the flow behind the step proved to be the point of maximum heat transfer coefficient. The size of the separated region as well as the Nus sell number depended greatly on the Reynolds number. Downstream of reattachment, the heat transfer coefficient declined rapidly and followed gradually the contour of the turbulent hound ary layer. The results of the investigation were compared to others from the literature with sat-isfaction.
