Drag reduction of a blunt body through reconfiguration of rear flexible plates

We investigate the quasi-static reconfiguration of rear parallel flexible plates on the drag coefficient of a blunt body. The drag coefficient, plates deformation, and main features of the turbulent…

The reconfiguration of low-aspect-ratio flexible plates, required power and induced flow under pure rotation were experimentally inspected for various plate stiffness and angular velocities ω.…

Flow-induced motions of flexible plates: fluttering, twisting and orbital modes

The unsteady dynamics of wall-mounted flexible plates under inclined flows was fundamentally described using theoretical arguments and experiments under various Cauchy numbers…

This review paper surveys the mechanics of FSI on individual plants and covers the dynamical phenomena of wave action, flutter, and vortex-induced vibrations.

On the distinct drag, reconfiguration and wake of perforated structures

Using especially designed laboratory experiments, we demonstrate that the flow-driven deformation of sufficiently porous, wall-mounted, flexible plates can exhibit positive Vogel exponent $V$, i.e.…

Drag reduction of flexible plates by reconfiguration

Through an extensive and systematic experimental investigation of two geometries of flexible plates in air, it is shown that a properly defined scaled Cauchy number allows collapsing all drag…

Drag reduction through self-similar bending of a flexible body

This work uses a flexible fibre immersed in a flowing soap film to measure the drag reduction that arises from bending of the fibre by the flow, and uses a model that couples hydrodynamics to bending to predict a reduced drag growth compared to the classical theory.
