Hi all,

I am looking for test cases for compressible inviscid sonic/supersonic/transonic flow over a backward or forward facing step. Any references (papers/web) welcome.

Thanks

None of these are inviscid, but they might serve as a good starting point for finding the data you need. Check the references / lit review in these papers:

DNS: LE, H. AND MOIN, P. 1994 Direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow over a backward facing step, Technical Report No. TF-58, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University.

Experiment: JOVIC, S. & DRIVER, D. 1994 Backward-facing Step Measurements at Low Reynolds Number, Re_h=5000. NASA Tech Memo 108807.

JOVIC, S. & DRIVER, D. 1995 Reynolds Number Effect on the Skin Friction in Separated Flows Behind a Backward-facing Step. Exper. Fluids 18, 464.

DRIVER, D.M. & SEEGMILLER, H.L. 1985 Features of a Reattaching Turbulent Shear Layer in Divergent Channel Flow. AIAA J. 23, 163.

Thanks, I found the test cases on some website.

thank you
