Flow Separation and Turbulent Flow

- Basic Principles
- Fluid flows around bodies due to viscosity and surface adhesion
- Boundary layer forms around smooth surfaces, separating at sharp transitions
- Reynolds number determines risk of separation, higher numbers increase risk
- Flow Separation Process
- Adverse pressure gradient pushes flow back against direction
- Flow separation occurs when velocity gradient becomes zero
- Turbulent wake forms behind body, reducing skin friction drag
- Turbulent Flow Benefits
- Turbulent boundary layers can follow body profile longer
- Turbulators on aircraft wings reduce drag and stall risk
- Golf balls use turbulence to increase flight distance
- Special Cases
- Separation bubbles form when flow reattaches to surface
- Periodic separation (Kármán vortex street) occurs at high Reynolds numbers
- Vortex shedding frequency depends on Strouhal number (0.2 typically assumed)
