In the whole life of a vortical flow, if the first milestone is the generation of vor-ticity from a solid wall by the no-slip condition (Sect. 4.1.3) and the formation of attached shear flow (which appears as boundary layer at large Reynolds numbers), then the second milestone is flow separation which very often (not always) results in separated flow. These notions are closely related, but the former is a local process of the transition from attached flow to detached flow, while the latter concerns a global flow development after separation occurs. We defer the discussion of separated flow to Chap 7.
