Stabilizing effect of flexibility in the wake of a flapping foil
Catherine Marais, Benjamin Thiria, José Eduardo Wesfreid +1
The wake of a flexible foil undergoing pitching oscillations in a low-speed hydrodynamic tunnel is used to examine the effect of chord-wise foil flexibility in the dynamical featur…
Convective instability in inhomogeneous media: impulse response in the subcritical cylinder wake
Catherine Marais, Ramiro Godoy-Diana, Dwight Barkley +1
We study experimentally the impulse response of a cylinder wake below the critical Reynolds number of the Bénard-von Kármán instability. In this subcritical regime, a localized inh…
A model for the symmetry breaking of the reverse Benard-von Karman vortex street produced by a flapping foil
Ramiro Godoy-Diana, Catherine Marais, Jean-Luc Aider +1
The vortex streets produced by a flapping foil of span-to-chord aspect ratio of 4:1 are studied in a hydrodynamic tunnel experiment. In particular, the mechanisms giving rise to th…
