Measurements of Heat Transfer Rates Behind Axially Symmetric Backward Facing Steps in The Shock Tube

Abstract

Heat transfer rates were measured in the separated flow region behind a series of eight axisymmetric backward facing step models. Four step heights, were used with two forebody lengths for each height. The work was performed in the shock tube at flow Mach numbers between 1.4 to 2.5. Movement of the reattachment zone with flow conditions and model dimensions is examined, and the results are investigated for a referenced inverse relation between the value of the peak heat transfer rate and the distance between the separation point to the position of the maximum heat transfer rate.
