What is flow separation? What causes it? What is the effect of flow separation on the drag coefficient?
What will be an ideal response?
At sufficiently high velocities, the fluid stream detaches itself from the surface of the body. This is called separation. It is caused by a fluid flowing over a curved surface at a high velocity (or technically, by adverse pressure gradient). Separation increases the drag coefficient drastically.
