Effects of a Splitter Plate in the Near Wake of a Divergent Trailing Edge

: This paper discusses experimental research aimed at defining a base drag reduction device based on splitter plates. The unsteady three‐dimensional nature of the flow is studied by Schlieren photography, particle image velocimetry, and measurement of the total unsteady lift and drag loads.
