Reference needed: Laminar backward facing
 

Hi:

I need a reliable reference to compare a code for the (1)- Laminar backward fcaing step and (2)- Laminar shear layer, two parallel streams with different speeds.

If any one is aware of a good reference, I would be appreciated if he/she can share his info with me.

Thanks. Mohammad

Hi

you try to see this page it presents some results for a turbulent flow over a backward facing step. you could also get some useful references.
