English abstract:
This contribution reports on recent efforts with the ultimate goal to obtain a fully self-consistent picture of turbulent boundary layer separation. To this end, it is shown first how the classical theory of turbulent boundary layers having an asymptotically small streamwise
velocity deficit can be generalised rigorously to boundary layers with a slightly larger, i.e. moderately large, velocity defect and, finally, to situations where the velocity defect is of O(1). In the latter case, the formation of short recirculation zones describing
marginally separated flows is found possible, as described in a rational manner.

Keywords:
interacting boundary layers; marginal separation; perturbation techniques; triple-deck theory; turbulence; turbulent shear flows; wall functions
