Jet creation and wave energy dissipation by a submerged elastic plate

Diane Komaroff, Gatien Polly, Alexis Mérigaud +2

Experiments on a flexible plate horizontally submerged in a wave tank are reported in this paper. The plate is held at a fixed depth at its upstream end, while its downstream end i…

Windsurf-mimetic study about unsteady propulsion

Gauthier Bertrand, Ramiro Godoy-Diana, Benjamin Thiria +1

We study experimentally a a three-dimensional reduced model of a sail shape performing pitching oscillations around a mean incidence angle () with respect to an incoming flo…

On the rheoscopic measurement of turbulent decay in wall-bounded flows

Tao Liu, Victoria Nicolazo-Crach, Ramiro Godoy-Diana +2

Quench experiments where the flow passes from a fully turbulent state to a laminar state by an abrupt decrease in the flow Reynolds number () have been extensively studied in t…

Waviness and self-sustained turbulence in plane Couette-Poiseuille flow

Manuel Etchevest, Pablo Dmitruk, Supriya Karmakar +3

Direct numerical simulations of a Couette Poiseuille flow were performed near the transition to turbulence to investigate the nonlinear relationship between streak waviness and rol…

Aerodynamic consequences of wing damage in dragonflies

Peng Yu, Ramiro Godoy-Diana, Benjamin Thiria +2

Flapping wings are the primary means by which dragonflies generate forces, but they are susceptible to damage due to their inherent fragility. The damage results in a reduction in…

Propulsive performance of a windsurf-inspired pitching foil

Gauthier Bertrand, Tristan Aurégan, Benjamin Thiria +2

We study experimentally a symmetrical rigid foil performing pitching oscillations around a mean incidence angle () with respect to an incoming flow in a hydrodynamic channel…
