Reverse flow occurs in a channel when there is an obstruction at the entry. However it has been shown recently that reverse flow can be realized without an obstruction, by staggering the sides of the channel and placing it at an angle of attack to the oncoming flow. In this study the latter flow is computationally investigated. Studies have been carried out for different widths (gap between the two walls forming the channel), and at an angle of attack of 30. The results have captured all the essential features of this complex phenomenon and show the time dependent pumping mechanism which leads to the occurrence of reverse flow.
