Fluid flow over a surface (wall-turbulence) at wing-body junctions are ubiquitous in engineering applications, such as appendages on aircraft, ships and submarines; and significantly impact performance and energy consumption. Due to these societal impacts, further analysis of these complex turbulent flows is crucial, particularly for realistic wing-body geometries and flow conditions. This project aims to address these challenges by focusing on a junction flow from the latest generation of supercritical aerofoil profile - OAT15A, through a unique collaboration between Universität der Bundeswehr München (UniBwM) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) to conduct measurements utilising the latest three-dimensional optical flow diagnostics techniques.    «
