Abstract
⺠We study the three-dimensional laminar flow through square-square expansions. ⺠The flow of Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids is compared. ⺠Flow patterns visualized using streak photography and velocity field measured with PIV. ⺠Comparison between experiments and numerical simulations is presented. ⺠Flow inversion due to inertia is predicted numerically in agreement with experiments.
