Abstract: Abstract The dynamics of a cantilever plate clamped at its trailing edge and placed at a moderate angle ($\alpha \leq 30^{\circ }$) to a uniform flow are investigated experimentally and numerically, and a large experimental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0002035
Abstract: In recent investigations of the unsteadiness of flow separation, time-resolved whole-field information, such as the temporal variation of reverse flow area and proper orthogonal decomposition modes, is commonly used to quantify the flapping motion of… read more here.
