Abstract
The flutter of a thin flexible plate or flag is a benchmark problem in fluid-structure interactions with applications to energy harvesting and flow sensing. Here we study flutter dynamics across a wide range of bending stiffnesses, and down to very small values of flag mass, e.g. very flexible fabric flags. We find that the flapping amplitude, frequency, and wavenumber are power laws of the flag mass and stiffness.
