The increasing size of wind turbines implies increasingly flexible turbine blades. The flexibility of the blades induces the occurrence of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) phenomena. The simulation codes that are used for the design of wind turbines need to be validated with observational data. In the current research a FSI experiment of a wing equipped with a trailing edge flap is performed to provide validation data. Little data is available in literature of free motion FSI experiments. Therefore, a FSI experiment is performed with a freely moving wing equipped with a trailing edge flap.
