✦ Synopsis

A three-dimensional boundary layer calculation is carried out for the flow over a semi-infinite circular cylinder which is placed at a small angle of incidence to an oncoming uniform stream. To elucidate the details of the flow both a spectral and a finite difference method of solution has been employed. The results show that separation of 'open' type on a body of revolution is characterized by a line of Goldstein singularities that originates, spontaneously, at a finite distance from the nose of the body.
