Instantaneous streamwise velocity fields with Galilean transformation by the half bulk velocity in the 𝑥-𝑦 plane

Caption

Visualization of instantaneous streamwise velocity fields in the 𝑥-𝑦 plane for different Weissenberg numbers (Wi = 0.0, 0.019, 0.022). The meandering motion emerges at higher Wi, enhancing turbulence and heat transfer in the backward-facing step flow.
