Abstract

A review of fundamental theoretical studies concerning the plane recirculation flows of an incompressible fluid is presented. Problems associated with steady-state and nonnsteady-state recirculation flows, the proof and application of the Prandtl–Batchelor theorem, self-similar nonsteady-state recirculation flows, and with the limiting form of a flat steady-state separated flow around bluff bodies are considered.
