Since the main boundary layer is Blasius or Stokes type, separation will not move out of the trailing edge region.
Navier-Stokes computations (S.-C. Wang 1995):
(However, a computation that violates the wall compatibility equation, or satisfies the exact instead of the approximate compatibility equation may easily find a thin transient reversed flow region. Authors who in addition do not know that zero wall shear does not indicate separation in unsteady flow may then erroneously conclude that ``separation'' has moved from the trailing edge region to the leading edge.)
