Mechanisms of local flexible membrane leeward surface on airfoil aerodynamic performance

Abstract Content of image described in text. An experimental investigation is conducted in a wind tunnel on a NACA0012 airfoil with a partially flexible polydimethylsiloxane membrane leeward surface extended from 16.7 % to 83.3 % of the chord length. Aerodynamic forces, membrane deformation and the surrounding flow fie...
