TY  - JOUR
AB - This experimental study presents the effect of multiscale cut-in trailing edge serrations on the coherentstructures shed into the wake of a lifting wing. Two-probe span-wise hot-wire traverses are performedto study spectra, coherence, and phase shift. In addition, planar particle image velocimetry is used tostudy the spatio-temporal structure of the vortices shed by the airfoils. Compared with a single tonesinusoidal serration, the multiscale ones reduce the vortex shedding energy as well as the span-wisecoherence. Results indicate that the vortex shedding is locked into an arch-shaped cell structure. Thisstructure is weakened by the multiscale patterns, which explains the reduction in both shedding energyand coherence.
