Description:
The flow is examined in the neighbourhood of the trailing edge of slender aerodynamic shapes which terminate in either a cusp or a wedge. The manner in which the boundary layer reacts to the rapidly varying pressure field in such regions is analyzed using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The case of a wedge is examined in greater detail and a criterion for separation to occur is established.
