Abstract
This treatise deals with the occurrence of locally separated, three-dimensional, unsteady high Reynolds number flows. As it is well established, such flows are governed by a triple-deck structure where the wall shear stress in the viscous sublayer of the (in general inviscid) boundary layer is utilized to describe the phenomenon of localized separation bubbles. It is then proved that the Cauchy problem for the local wall shear stress is, in general, ill-posed. Thus, regularization methods need to be applied to numerically compute the time evolution. The numerical scheme comprises a novel technique using rational Chebyshev polynomials. Finally, the breakdown of the triple-deck structure in the sense of a finite time blow-up scenario is shown.
