A new analytical criterion that captures the onset of separation of flow past elliptic cylinders is derived by considering the variation of the wall normal velocity in Reynolds number parameter space. It is shown that this criterion can be used to calculate the separation Reynolds number Re_s for the classical problem of flow past a circular cylinder, a contentious and unresolved issue till date. The two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are solved computationally and an exact value of Re_s is obtained by applying the aforementioned criterion.
