In this paper, we study torsional oscillations of a cross section of a thin plate submerged in a quiescent, Newtonian, incompressible, and viscous fluid. The plate is subjected to a prescribed shape-morphing deformation in phase with the rigid oscillation. The problem is completely described by three nondimensional parameters indicating oscillation frequency and amplitude and intensity of the shape-morphing deformation. We conduct a parametric study to investigate the possibility of controlling hydrodynamic moments and power dissipation through an active time-varying shape-morphing strategy. The problem is studied in both the linear and nonlinear flow regimes, by employing the boundary element method and direct numerical simulations via computational fluid dynamics methods, respectively. Investigation of flow physics demonstrates that, similarly to what is observed for the case of flexural oscillations, the shape-morphing strategy is effective in modulating vortex shedding in torsional oscillations.
