摘要：A numerical code based on the finite volume discretization technique is
developed to simulate the flow structures following a three-dimensional
horizontal forward-facing step. The link between the pressure distribution
and velocity field are done by using the SIMPLE algorithm. A rectangular
channel encloses the forward-facing step such that the expansion ratio
(ER) and the aspect ratio (AR) are equal to two and four respectively. The
channel total length in the stream-wise direction is equal to 60 times the
step height and the step edge is located 20 times the step height downstream
the channel inlet. At the channel inlet the flow is considered as a
three-dimensional fully developed flow. Results for the reattachment line,
the separation line, as well as for velocity profiles at different planes for
different Reynolds are presented.
