Inverted-Flag Dynamics: Vortex-Induced Flapping in Wind Turbines

Description

This lecture explores the dynamics of an inverted-flag in a uniform steady flow, revealing a transition from small-amplitude flutter to large-amplitude flapping. The study, combining mathematical theory, scaling analysis, and simulations, investigates vortex-induced vibration and the impact of sheet motion on vortex formation. Motivated by wind energy generation, the research extends to biological processes like leaf motion and hair dynamics.
