This paper presents three-dimensional simulations of an unsteady separated and reattached flow and the heat transfer over a blunt flat plate. A numerical analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations and energy equation is carried out using the finite difference method. The present results of three-dimensional calculations are compared with the previous results of two-dimensional ones and show an improvement of accuracy of the flow characteristics, demonstrating the importance of three- dimensional simulations for nominally two-dimensional flow. It is clarified from the numerical results that the separated shear layer becomes unstable and forms spanwise vortices. These vortices become three-dimensional and are shed from the reattachment flow region. The shed vortices possess hairpin-like structure. These large-scale vortex structures have great effects upon the heat transfer in the separated, reattached and redeveloping flow regions.
