Abstract
A method for mapping the separation and transition of flow over a slowly pitching airfoil with high angular resolution is presented. An array of surface-mounted hot-film sensors is used to record simultaneous corresponding voltages. The method makes use of windowed correlation and spectral signatures of hot-film sensor voltages in synchronization with a servo-motor controlling airfoil pitch angle. Results are given for a NACA-0012 airfoil at three airspeeds at pitch angles of less than 6 deg. The airspeeds correspond to a region of known aeroelastic instability; they are situated between chord Reynolds numbers of 50,000 and 130,000. Tests in static and quasi-static pitch motion schedules were conducted. The quasi-static airfoil was sinusoidally pitching at 0.025 Hz between −6 deg and +6 deg (corresponding to a half-chord based reduced frequency between 0.0011 and 0.0020) and the detected separation and transition agreed very well with the static case. These results constitute a verification of the method used and provide insight into the size and location of the laminar separation bubble at transitional Reynolds numbers.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
