Features: This book starts from the theory of qualitative analysis and studies the characteristics of two-dimensional and three-dimensional separated flows. It provides mathematical conditions for determining flow separation, reveals the features of flow near separation points (two-dimensional) and separation lines, establishes rules for describing the topological structures of surface flow and cross-sectional flow in two-dimensional and three-dimensional separated flows, and clarifies the branching evolution and mechanism of vortex section flow along its own axis, as well as the mechanism of vortex breakdown. These results are helpful for gaining a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of flow and are beneficial for experimental studies and numerical simulations of separated flows. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in fluid mechanics, as well as a reference for researchers and designers in related fields.
