The structure of a turbulent reattaching flow behind a backward-facing step was studied experimentally in a low-velocity water channel, in order to observe the physical structure of the flow and to better understand the relation.

The present study is an extension of the previous work of the Heat and Mass Transfer Group at Stanford on adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers. The objective here is to acquire hydrodynamic and heat transfer data for.

Measurements have been made of the heat transfer rates through turbulent and transitional boundary layers on an isothermal, convexly curved wall and downstream flat plate.
