Abstract

Several examples of experimental model designs, wind tunnel tests and correlation  with new theory are presented in this chapter. The goal is not only to evaluate a new theory, new computational method or new aeroelastic phonomenon, but also to provide new insights into nonlinear aeroelastic phenomena, flutter, limit cycle oscillation (LCO), gust response and energy harvesting from a large flapping flag response. The experiments are conducted in a standard low speed wind tunnel. Similar experiments in a high speed wind tunnel would be very valuable.
