Abstract: The problem of flow of a non-Newtonian viscous fluid with power-law rheological properties along a semi-infinite plate with a small localized irregularity on the surface is considered for large Reynolds numbers. The asymptotic solution with double-deck structure of the boundary layer is constructed. The numerical simulation of the flow in the region near the surface was performed for different fluid indices. The results of investigations of the flow properties depending on the fluid index are presented. Namely, the boundary layer separation is investigated for different fluid indices, and the dynamics of vortex formation in this region is shown.

Keywords: double-deck structure, boundary layer separation, power-law fluid, localized perturbations, asymptotics, numerical simulation
