Abstract

The finite element model has been developed in order to solve separation pattern of the flow past an obstruction in a two-dimensional flow field. The Helmholtz-Poisson form of the Reynolds equations are solved alternately until a stable flow separation in the neighbourhood of the obstruction is obtained. In order to check the results of the finite element model, an experimental separation pattern using Pitot-tube measurements has been conducted. The computed and the experimental flow separation patterns show a good agreement.
