Abstract: Reversed von Kármán streets are responsible for a velocity surplus in the wake of flapping foils, indicating the onset of thrust generation. However, the wake pattern cannot be predicted based solely on the flapping peak-to-peak… read more here.

Abstract: The spatial transition of the wake behind a thin pitching plate in the thrust regime is studied. The drag-to-thrust transition is seen to occur at a threshold pitching frequency which becomes smaller for higher pitching… read more here.
