Visualization of boundary layer separation and passive flow control on airfoils and bodies in wind-tunnel and in-flight experiments

Infrared camera, Particle Image Velocimetry, smoke-wire, tuft filaments and oil-flow visualization techniques were used for wind-tunnel and in-flight investigation of boundary layer separation, both stall and separation bubbles, related to the low-Reynolds numbers transition mechanism. Airfoils of W...
