“…Fundamental features of the separation-reattachment flow without base injection have been investigated extensively [1][2][3][4][5][6], whereas relatively less effort has been devoted to the effects of wall injection on mixing process [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Bradshaw and Wong [2] reported that the reattachment length varied between six and eight times of the height of backstep based on various inlet conditions.…”

“…Yang and Kuo [9] found that the velocity fluctuation and Reynolds stress of the flow were decreased by increasing the relative amount of wall injection. Harinaldi and Mizomoto [12] investigated the coherent structure of flow over a backstep with gas injection from a slot. The mean flow, turbulence properties and characteristics of the coherent structure were significantly influenced by the increase of injection momentum near the backstep.…”

As commercial and military aircraft engines approach higher total temperatures and increasing overall fuel-to-air ratios, the potential for significant chemical reactions to occur downstream of the combustor is increased. This may take place when partially reacted species leave the combustor and encounter film-cooled surfaces. One common feature on turbine endwalls is a step between various engine components and seals. Such step features produce recirculating flows which when in the vicinity of film-cooled surfaces may lead to particularly severe reaction zones due to long fluid residence times. The objective of this paper is to study and quantify the surface heat transfer implications of such reacting regions. A shock tube experiment was employed to generate short duration, high temperature (1000–2800 K) and pressure (6 atm) flows over a film-cooled backward-facing step. The test article contained two sets of 35 deg film cooling holes located downstream of a step. The film-cooling holes could be supplied with different gases, one side using air and the other nitrogen allowing for simultaneous testing of reacting and inert cooling gases. A mixture of ethylene and argon provided a fuel-rich free stream that reacted with the air film resulting in near wall reactions. The relative increase in surface heat flux due to near wall reactions was investigated over a range of fuel levels, momentum blowing ratios (0.5–2.0), and Damköhler numbers (ratio of characteristic flow time to chemical time) from near zero to 30. The experimental results show that for conditions relevant for future engine technology, adiabatic flame temperatures can be approached along the wall downstream of the step leading to potentially significant increases in surface heat flux. A computational study was also performed to investigate the effects of cooling-jet blowing ratio on chemical reactions behind the film-cooled step. The blowing ratio was found to be an important parameter governing the flow structure behind the backward-facing step, and controlling the characteristics of chemical-reactions by altering the local equivalence ratio.

The paper presents 2-D numerical simulations of laminar backward-facing step flow using the FemLab 3.1 modeling package. Results demonstrated that primary reattachment lengths predicted by FemLab were in close agreement with experimental data up to step Reynolds number Reh = 300. Also, dimensionless velocity profiles along the channel height calculated by FemLab were successfully compared with the experimental data.
