Separated-flow unsteady pressures and forces on elastically responding structures

Broadband rms, spectral density, and spatial correlation information that characterizes the fluctuating pressures and forces that cause aircraft buffet is presented. The main theme is to show the effects of elasticity. In order to do so, data are presented that were obtained in regions of separated flow on wings of wind-tunnel models of varying stiffness and on the wing of a full-scale aircraft. Reynolds number effects on the pressure fluctuations are also discussed.
