Abstract
A numerical study on the effect of surface slip on the flow in a constricted channel is presented, with the aim of exploring the use of surface slip to control flow separation. Our focus is on two-dimensional flow in a channel over a bump, with a fixed aspect ratio, upon which a Robin-type slip boundary condition is imposed. When the channel walls are fully no-slip, such a flow is known to develop a region of separation behind the bump, at sufficiently large Reynolds numbers. The effect of slip on the separation bubble dynamics occurring behind the bump is investigated, for Reynolds numbers
$2000$
and
$4000$
. It is shown that surface slip (i) attenuates the intensity of separation as it diminishes the minimum of the streamwise velocity within the recirculation region; (ii) delays the onset of flow separation, shifting it downstream, along the bump, and (iii) reduces the dimensions of the separation bubble behind the bump, allowing the flow to reattach sooner. Ultimately, slip inhibits separation, with both the points of separation and reattachment coalescing, for a slip length
$\lambda$
of approximately
$0.2$
.
