Formation of vortices at the edges of a rotating flat plate wing
—
The image shows the flow topology for a flat plate wing rotated 180 degrees about the mid chord. The experiment was conducted in a quiescent water tank, and the shear layer feeding vortices behind each plate edge is illuminated using a milk based dye and twin laser light sheets.
