Separated flows
Abstract
The characteristics of two-dimensional and three-dimensional separated flows are discussed and illustrated with diagrams and photographs, and theoretical models are reviewed. Topics examined include transport and alteration of vortex strength, high-Reynolds-number separation in plane flows (the failure of classical boundary-layer theory, higher-order theories, and the effect of turbulence), and three-dimensional separation (flow-surface branching and vortex formation, local solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, and the vortex-skeleton model).
