Problem Definition

• In this example we shall investigate steady turbulent

flow over a backward-facing step. The problem
description is taken from one used by Pitz and Daily in
an experimental investigation against which the
computed solution can be compared. This example
introduces the following OpenFOAM features for the
first time:

- generation of a mesh using blockMesh using full

mesh grading capability;

- steady turbulent flow.
