Abstract
The effect on the boundary-layer equations of a weak shock wave of strength ∈ has been investigated, and it is shown that if R is the Reynolds number of the boundary layer, separation occurs when ∈ = o(R−i). The boundary-layer assumptions are then investigated and shown to be consistent. It is inferred that separation will occur if a shock wave meets a boundary and the above condition is satisfied.Keywords
