Abstract
In this paper for the case of Falkner-Skan flow, we investigate indentation s which call provoke boundary layer separation, without deeply modifying th e base flow. Using the asymptotic method of matched expansions, we show tha t these perturbations lead to double or triple deck structures depending on the size of the indentation.
