Abstract
The possible singular structure of a steady boundary layer at separation for a regularly prescribed outer flow and an upstream moving wall is examined. By means of a family of similar solutions it is shown that a consistent description can indeed accomodate the flattening of the velocity profile at flow reversal postulated in the so called MRS-model of separation. The conditions in the separated region downstream, being unknown, are reflected in the non-uniqueness of the expansion.
