February 20, 2015, 10:52	Turbulent Flow Over a Backward Facing Step	#1
mcruvie94 New Member Join Date: Feb 2015 Posts: 1 Rep Power: 0	I have been trying to determine the reattachment length of the turbulent flow over a backward facing step at reynolds numbers 93000, and 210000. From what I have seen in the previous studies, a reattachment length of around 7 units should be found, however, I am currently getting values in the region of 3-4. Can anyone help on why this may be?
