title: Effects of a splitter plate in the near wake of a divergent trailing edge.
abstract: This paper discusses experimental research aimed at defining a base drag reduction device based on splitter plates. The unsteady three-dimensional nature of the flow is studied by Schlieren photography, particle image velocimetry, and measurement of the total unsteady lift and drag loads.
