Fluid-structure interaction of cylinder-foil configuration

Evaluation of cylinder-foil configuration. Focus on interaction between the cylinder wake and the surface deformation. Different regimes are identified attending to the behavioral motion of the flexible structure. To further understand the coupling, the wake of the model is studied and compared to clean cylinder wake. A statistical analysis is performed on both configurations. Moreover, Proper Orthogonal Decomposition is applied and shows the difference in the most energetic modes and how these are affected by the flexible foil.
