Attached flow is the flow which has not separated from the body. For example in an airfoil, at low angles of attack the flow is attached ie the streamlines are such that they "stick" to the body.
But as you increase the AoA, the flow tends to "separate" as the fluid does not have enough momentum to stick to the surface. This is the general definition. I do not have the book hence cant be specific. |
