Flow separation characteristics for two tapered swept-back wings, one with straight leading-edge (LE) and the other with tubercled LE, were investigated in a water tunnel using time-resolved particle image velocimetry (TR-PIV) technique. The two wings were based on the SD7032 aerofoil profile, with...
