Hi
I know that for an airfoil, it's typical to describe stall in terms of angle of attack.
I'm wondering, how does Re play a role in flow separation of an airfoil (and for objects in general such as a plate, sphere, or cylinder)? One Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_separation) it states that flow separation location is independent of Re for laminar flow, why is this and what about turbulent flow?
Thanks
