Boundary layer separation and reattachment
Abstract
A review of developments in a new model for boundary-layer separation is presented. The separation model encompasses timevarying as well as steady-flow conditions. Engineering criteria in terms of calculable pressure gradients are obtained for both laminar and turbulent boundary-layer separation. These criteria, together with limited information on time-dependent separations, should be of value in predicting flows in turbomachinery. The reattachment of boundary layers is also shown to fit within the separation model.
