โฆ Synopsis
The boundary layer growth on a circular cylinder embedded to a wedge, when the motion is started impulsively from rest, is discussed using the method of inner and outer expansions. The equation for the time of separation involving the Reynolds number and the wedge angle is obtained. A uniformly valid solution is also found for the entire flow field. It is found that separation first occurs at the points where the cylinder meets the wedge. Also, the time of earliest separation decreases with increase in the Reynolds number and with increase in the wedge angle.
