Abstract
A CFD workshop on a geometry that can be typical for deep buildings and tunnels took place in 2015 at the ISHVAC-COBEE 2015 conference. The fluid problem investigated in the workshop is known as the backward facing step flow. Members of the workshop made Computational Fluid dynamics (CFD) predictions of the air distribution without having measurements for comparison. Their results show a significant diversity, among other things due to the chosen turbulence models.
A benchmark for the backward-facing step flow is introduced to validate the numerical predictions as well as to assess the influence of different turbulence models, wall functions and other important elements of the software.
