To stall-cell or not to stall-cell: Variational data assimilation of 3D mean flow past a stalled airfoil

The full-field reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) turbulent flows from sparse experimental measurements remains a significant challenge, particularly for flows exhibiting complex 3D flow separation. In this work, we address this challenge for the case of stall cells - spanw...
