Abstract
In this study, three-dimensional laminar incompressible flow through a planar diffuser (gradual expansion) for different divergence half angles of the diffuser ( θ), Reynolds numbers ( Re), and aspect ratios ( AR) is studied numerically. The numerical model is validated against the experimental data available in the literature. The effects of θ and AR on the critical Reynolds number at which the onset of asymmetric flow is observed, are investigated.
