Numerical analysis investigates flow separation behavior in viscous fluid channels, suggesting key flow dynamics.

To investigate the flow behavior through a back-step channel, particularly focusing on flow separation.
Numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation obtained using the successive-over-relaxation method.
Calculation of stream function and vorticity at various Reynolds numbers (0, 0.1, 1, 3, 10, 20, 30, and 40).
Analysis of pressure distributions along the lower wall for selected cases.
Flow does not separate at the sharp edge of the corner.
Identified positions of separation and reattachment points as functions of Reynolds number.
