Hydrodynamic stress maps on the surface of a flexible fin-like foil.

We determine the time dependence of pressure and shear stress distributions on the surface of a pitching and deforming hydrofoil from measurements of the three dimensional flow field. Period-averaged stress maps are obtained both in the presence and absence of steady flow around the foil. The veloci...
