Abstract

Experimental data on controlled time-periodic disturbances of the laminar flow separating at a 2D backward-facing step on a flat plate are reported. Windtunnel results were obtained at low subsonic velocity through hot-wire measurements. It is found that vorticity perturbations generated locally behind the step contaminate an extended flow region downstream and upstream of their origin. One expects this could provide a feedback involved in self-sustained oscillations of the separation bubble.
