Solutions the non-interactive equations are known to develop a generic singularity in regions where pressure gradient prescribed and adverse. As boundary layer starts separate from surface, however, external distribution altered through viscous—inviscid interaction just prior formation singularity; hitherto this has been referred as first interactive stage.

Numerical solutions of the unsteady two–dimensional boundary–layer and Navier–Stokes equations are considered for flow induced by a thick–core vortex above an infinite plane wall in incompressible flow. Vortex–induced flows this type generally involve separation, which results eruption high–vorticity fluid within narrow streamwise region. At high Reynolds numbers, separation process is believed to pass through series asymptotic stages. The first stage governed classical non–interactive...
