Abstract
Numerical integrations of the Navier-Stokes equations for flow past a smooth, three-dimensional, surface-mounted obstacle are presented. The variation of the flow with Reynolds number, and with geometric ratios such as the maximum slope of the obstacle, are investigated. The separated flow is investigated using visualizations of the surface-stress patterns, and also particle trajectories through the flow.Keywords
