Abstract
The development of the reverse flow structure in the neighborhood of a corner in a viscous incompressible laminar flow at high Reynolds numbers is investigated numerically. It is found that as the angle of inclination increases the internal structure of the reverse flow zone becomes more complex as a result of secondary separation. The effect of the curvature of the surface is investigated.
