This paper discusses the effects of a thin flexible rectangular polymer film (fin) attached to the upper surface of a NACA0012 airfoil model on the natural low-frequency oscillation in poststall flows. The flexible fin passively manipulates flow structures, which leads to suppression of the low-frequency oscillation and reduction of drag. Detailed measurements of the velocity fields and kinematics of fin deformation show the significant effects of a flexible fin on the development of the flow structures in the fully-separated-flow region. The generating and controlling mechanisms of the low-frequency oscillation are explored.
