Abstract
Wind tunnel tests were conducted on a flat plate subjected to classical flutter instability for energy harvesting purposes. Critical conditions and post-critical limit-cycle oscillation amplitudes were observed to explore the effects of small barriers with different porosity, installed at the leading and trailing edge of the plate. The instability threshold was slightly anticipated and the sub-critical branch was extended toward lower flow speeds.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
