Solutions for 0.19884 1.0
Separation ( w 0 )
Solutions show many commonly observed characteristics of BL flow:
The parameter is a measure of the pressure gradient, dp dx .
For 0 , dp dx 0 and the pressure gradient is favorable. For
0 , the dp dx 0 and the pressure gradient is adverse.
Negative solutions drop away from Blasius profiles as separation
approached
Positive solutions squeeze closer to wall due to flow acceleration
Accelerated flow: max near wall
Decelerated flow: max moves toward 2

i.e. rough wall velocity profile shifts downward by a constant amount

The pressure gradient term has a large influence on the solution. In
particular, adverse pressure gradient (i.e. increasing pressure) can cause
flow separation. Recall that the y momentum equation subject to the
boundary layer assumptions reduced to
which, shows that the curvature of the velocity profile at the wall is
related to the pressure gradient.

Runge-Kutta method to find C f , H , . Equations are solved with initial
condition for (x0) and integrated to x=x0+x iteratively. Estimated

Iterations required until all relations satisfied and then proceed to next

Differential methods have been developed for this reason as well as for

7.7 Separation
What causes separation?
The increasing downstream pressure slows down the wall flow and
can make it go backward-flow separation.
dp dx 0 adverse pressure gradient, flow separation may occur.
dp dx 0 favorable gradient, flow is very resistant to separation.
Notes:
1. D to E, pressure drop, pressure is transformed into kinetic energy.
2. From E to F, kinetic energy is transformed into pressure.
3. A fluid particle directly at the wall in the boundary layer is also
acted upon by the same pressure distribution as in the outer flow
(inviscid).
4. Due to the strong friction forces in the BL, a BL particle loses so
much of its kinetic energy that is cannot manage to get over the
“pressure gradient” from E to F.
5. The following figure shows the time sequence of this process:
