Point of separation of the flow around a cylinder
If a smaller cylinder and a larger one are both exposed to an air current at the same speed, do they have the same separation point?
How would the study of aerodynamics change if humans were the size of giants or that of ants? Would a cylinder the size of a giant and one the size of an ant have the same separation point?
The question arises from the fact that a cylinder is large or small relative to my size: a cylinder that is large for an ant is a small cylinder for me.
