Parameters governing separation control with sweeping jet actuators over a deflected flap are investigated experimentally on a generic “Multiple Flap Airfoil” (MFA). The model enables an extensive variation of geometric and aerodynamic parameters to aid the scaling of this novel…

The Shortfin Mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) is one of the fastest swimmers in nature. They have an incredible turning agility and are estimated to achieve speeds as high as ten body lengths per second. Shark skin is known to contain flexible denticles or scales, capable of being…
