Abstract : The research work studies the effect of varying step angle in the flow through a backward-facing step geometry. The work was done using OpenFOAM solver. The step angles were varied in the range 10° to 80°. The solution was obtained using simpleFoam inside the OpenFOAM solver. The variation of velocity magnitude, pressure and turbulent kinetic energy was observed for the varying step geometries. At 80°, a standalone highly turbulent vortex was observed near the nozzle region, which is also evident from the pressure and velocity contours.
