Vortex Formation and Drag on Low Aspect Ratio, Normal Flat Plates

<p>Experiments were done to investigate the role of vortex formation in the drag force generation of low aspect ratio, normal flat plates starting from rest. This very simplified case is a first, fundamental step toward understanding the more complicated flow of hovering flight, which relies p...
