There is a stationary layer of air against the surface of the wing as part of the Boundary Layer. A dirty/rough surface also has a stationary layer against it. Which would therefore mean subsequent layers of air in the Boundary Layer 'see' no difference between a smooth and rough surface.
So is the difference that the Seperation Point is further forward with a dirty surface?
