Then why do US subs have an easier time tracking down the Soviet and Chinese subs than their counterparts on their own nuke subs?
Because of factors that make way more noise than a simple boundary layer separation; like shaft or propeller or tip vortices or trail.

Moreover as depth increases the behaviour of hydrodynamic also changes.

How do you now which one has better acoustic performance? This isnt something you can check from looks :nono:
yes you can from looking at the evolution of the submarine design. Look at the progression of sub design from USS Nautilus to Thresher to Los Angeles to Seawolf and Polaris to Ohio class and now to the next generation SBMN class.
