A review of the role of some small high-speed wind tunnels in aeronautical research
TLDR
This paper reviewed the contribution made to aeronautical research by workers using the high-speed blowdown tunnels in the Engineering Department at Cambridge and concluded that workers using small high speed tunnels still have a significant role to play in aerospace research in spite of recent developments in tunnel design which have lead to a new generation of efficient large tunnels in which model tests on aircraft at near flight Reynolds numbers are possible.About:

Control of an Oblique Shock/Boundary-Layer Interaction with Aeroelastic Mesoflaps
TL;DR: Aeroelastic mesoe arrays for recirculating transpiration have been investigated in an effort to control shock/boundary-layer interactions (SBLIs) through passive cavity recirculation as discussed by the authors.

Aeroelastically deflecting flaps for shock/boundary-layer interaction control
TL;DR: In this article, an aeroelastic mesoflap system was developed to improve the downstream flow properties of an oblique shock/boundary-layer interaction, whereby the flaps downstream of the interaction bend downward aero-elastically to bleed the flow and the upstream flaps bend upward to re-inject this same mass flow upstream.
