Abstract: | The flow in the separation zones of a turbulent boundary layer upstream from a two-dimensional rectangular step has been experimentally investigated at subsonic flow velocities. The flow pattern and the static pressure distributions on the surface of the plate and the step are analyzed and the characteristic dimensions of the separation zones and the boundary-layer parameters in the separation section are determined.Moscow.
