Aerofoil Flow Sensing Using On-Board Optical Tracking of Flexible Pillar Sensors

A novel approach for sensing and characterising the flow over an aerofoil is introduced. Arrays of flexible wind-hair-like sensors distributed over an aerofoil, which are tracked remotely using high-speed imaging and processing, acting as “digital tufts”, are used to provide real-time readings of lo...
