The aim of this work is to observe the flow reversal that can appear at the time of interaction of hot and cold boundary layers in transient mixed convection in a vertical pipe.The instationary character of the flow is due to the application at the entry of the tube of a positive or negative temperature step. The transient mixed convection has a significant contribution in many industrial applications such as the air conditioning systems, the heat exchangers, nuclear plants, etc.
