separation point

separation point

separation point
The position at which the boundary layer leaves the surface of a solid body. It may occur with the laminar flow (laminar separation) or when the boundary layer is turbulent (turbulent separation). Separation is sometimes followed by reattachment of the flow.

When the angle of attack is increased (deceleration of the flow), the separation point moves to the leading edge of a blade, and during decrease in angle of attack (flow acceleration), it moves to the trailing edge, and correspondingly the coefficient of grid profile drag [C.sub.x] periodically changes.
