Abstract
Experiments were performed in the highly turbulent and disturbed flow over a bluff plate with a long splitter plate in its plane of symmetry. The flow separates at the sharp bevelled edge of the bluff plate, forms a free shear layer on top of the reverse-flow region which is bounded on its other side by the splitter plate, and reattaches on the splitter plate over a narrow region curved in spanwise direction. Downstream of reattachment the shear flow adjusts slowly to the wall boundary conditions.Keywords
