Abstract
The paper overviews experimental and numerical studies of flow and heat transfer in a single spherical cavity. Major structural components of the flow pattern in spherical cavities are discussed. Much attention is paid to the formation mechanism of the tornado-like vortex in the separation flow past cavity. Based on a simultaneous consideration of fluid dynamics and heat transfer, hot problems still existing in this research area are outlined.
