Separated flow is characterized by reversal of flow direction and tufts lifting clear off the surface while swirling randomly / violently.
That's reversed flow. You can have separated flow without it reversing... but I'm not the leading expert in flow separation... I only have a bachelors in the subject. I'll consult my partner (Master's on Vortex generation)
