In many flow case, something like pipeflow or external flow over body, there is always effort to estimate reattachment length. I know a recirculation by separating flow results the bad effect like energy loss, nosie and increasing darg.
what i want to know the reason for estimate a reattachment length.
if reattachmen lengt is longer, is it mean more bad effect ??
Is it means to know that the amount of bad effect by calculating reattachment length??
