Trailing-edge dynamics and morphing of a deformable flat plate at high Reynolds number by time-resolved PIV [PDF]
, 2014 The present paper investigates the turbulent wake structure in the near-region past the trailing edge of a deformable inclined plate. The plate is actuated by shape memory alloys. Using these actuators a significant deformation (bending) can be achieved (
