Abstract
The paper presents experimental results on the study of flow dynamics and heat transfer in the separation region behind the backward-facing step with longitudinal vortex generators (VG) installed at an angle to the flow of 30° at Re = 4000. The VG installation reduces the recirculation region and the induced longitudinal vortices and rearranges the flow structure in the separation region. The influence of a VG on the local and average thermal characteristics behind the backward-facing step is investigated and their thermohydraulic efficiency is estimated.
