The origin of steady asymmetric flows in a symmetric sudden expansion is studied using experimental and numerical techniques. We show that the asymmetry arises at a symmetry-breaking bifurcation and good agreement between the experiments and numerical calculations is obtained. At higher Reynolds numbers the flow becomes time-dependent and there is experimental evidence that this is associated with three-dimensional effects.
