Summary

Detailed evaluation of the laminar boundary layer parameters and velocity distribution at separation is given. The analysis takes into account the definite variation in separation profiles observed both theoretically and experimentally. The strong dependency of the shape of the separation profile on the previous history of the boundary development is demonstrated.
