Aerodynamics

the sudden drop in drag on a bluff body such as a sphere or cylinder when its boundary layer turns turbulent and the separation point moves downstream.

In aerodynamics, drag crisis refers to the sudden drop in drag on a bluff body such as a sphere or cylinder when its boundary layer turns turbulent and the separation point moves downstream. This meaning comes from Achenbach (1968) in Journal of Fluid Mechanics.[1]
