Abstract

The results of Ackerberg (1970, 1971a), on the two-dimensional boundary-layer separation at a sharp trailing edge where a free streamline is attached, are extended to the axisymmetric case, with and without swirl. When the flow has swirl, the boundary-layer swirl velocity close to the wall may be opposite to that in the external flow; this may help explain the ‘bathtub vortex paradox’ observed by Sibulkin (1962). The solutions for the detached shear layers downstream of separation for two-dimensional and axisymmetric flows, with and without swirl, have been obtained. Some misprints in parts 1 and 2 are corrected in the appendix.
