Abstract In the early era of aviation, Frederick Lanchester was both an inventor and a theoretician driven by need for theory flight that would reduce guesswork in designing new aircraft. His book Aerodynamics 1907 laid down foundations such theory. The with contributions from others, notably Ludwig Prandtl, refined to become basis sleek designs WWII aircraft brought about little guesswork. New...

The fluid-structure interaction of a cantilevered plate geometry in Mach 2 flow was studied experimentally to assess the effects structural compliance on surrounding flowfield. test geometry, representative compliant control surface, consists an overhanging that extends past edge backward-facing step create separated region flow. This allowed for study recirculation and unsteady pressure forcin...
