Hi,

Reynolds number must be less than 5 in order for the flow to remain attached. For this case based on the contour and assuming air as the medium, the cylinder diameter should be ~5μm to have a Re<5, which I guess it is not. Thus you are in the turbulent regime and flow recirculation is expected.
