Separation characteristics of fluid flow in a pipe with sinusoidal wavy surface are investigated numerically. The pipe waviness is characterized by a wavelength ('lambda') and an amplitude (a) of the wave. Steady laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid is considered. Governing equations are discretized using the control volume based Finite-Volume method with collocated variable arrangement. SIMPLE algorithm is used and TDMA solver is applied to solve the system of equations. The length of the pipe is kept four times the wavelength (4*'lambda'). The effect of surface waviness, determined by the wavelength-amplitude ratio 'lambda'/a (=L*) , on separation characteristics of fluid flow is presented. The simulation work has been carried out for L*= 11.0 - 30.0 and for the Reynolds number ranging from 50 to 2000. The structure of separation bubble depends strongly on the waviness of the surface for a particular Reynolds number and changes a little with the wave number n. Finally the flow field is presented in the form of stream function and axial velocity profiles for understanding the separation phenomenon.
