Theoretical aspects of steady and unsteady laminar separation
Abstract
The paper describes recent developments as well as basic aspects, for the rational theory of steady and unsteady separation. Steady two-dimensional separation is broadly accounted for but difficulties in describing large-scale eddy closure are emphasized. Steady three-dimensional separation theory is still in its early stages. Unsteady separation is linked closely with instabilities, e.g. in the boundary layer and separating shear layer, and with dynamic stall.
