This paper presents an experimental study on the aeroacoustics of a flat plate rig with highly instrumented serrated trailing-edge. The role near-field flow properties, namely, surface pressure fluctuations and spanwise coherence, in noise suppression capability serration is not properly understood. results from this test aim to provide additional insight into effects hydrodynamic field (flow f...

Recent work on the aerodynamics of flapping flight reveals fundamental differences in the mechanisms of aerodynamic force generation between fixed and flapping wings. When fixed wings translate at high angles of attack, they periodically generate and shed leading and trailing edge vortices as reflected in their fluctuating aerodynamic force traces and associated flow visualization. In contrast,...

The study explores the evolution of flow field and forces of a low-aspect-ratio flat plate undergoing an accelerated rotating surge motion from rest. The measurements were performed in a water tank at Reynolds numbers of 20,000, based on the chord length and terminal velocity at 75% span. A tomographic Particle Image Velocimetry (Tomographic-PIV) technique was used in order to capture three-dim...
