Flow past a backward facing ramp (BFR) with rectangular vane-type vortex generators (VGs) located upstream has been studied numerically using OpenFOAM based steady-state RANS simulations. In particular, single and multiple pair(s) of boundary layer height VGs are skewed at 10° and 30° to study their...
