What is it about?
What similarities exist for a low-Reynolds number aerofoil when comparing the effects of moving through unsteady (turbulent) air to moving the wing through steady air instead? We investigate similarities and differences between these unsteady motions.

Why is it important?
Understanding the similarities may allow for better prediction of the more complicated turbulent flow effects through studying constituent aspects. The motion of the wing can be controlled and repeated, allowing for more in-depth and specified examination than chaotic, irregular turbulent flow.
