Simulating vortex wakes of flapping plates

We compare different models to simulate two-dimensional vortex wakes behind oscillating plates. In particular, we compare solutions using a vortex sheet model and the simpler Brown-Michael model to solutions of the full Navier-Stokes equations obtained using a penalization method. The goal is to determine whether simpler models can be used to obtain good approximations to the form of the wake and the induced forces on the body.
