title = "Computational design and experimental testing of a flexible bi-stable airfoil for passive flow control",
abstract = "This study focuses on the design of a novel airfoil camber morphing mechanism using topology optimization that aims to harness the flow field around the airfoil for its actuation. The morphing mechanism is designed using snap-through instabilities for actuation and shape change. The aerodynamic forces on the outer mold line are predicted using a panel method for inviscid effects and Thwaites method for the boundary layer. The results of the computational morphing airfoil design and the predicted aerodynamics are presented. A 3D printed model of the airfoil is tested in a wind tunnel to analyse its camber morphing characteristics.",
