Abstract
A device for detecting separation in an aerodynamic or hydrodynamic profile having a one-piece structure with a flexible and deformable strip extending between the first end and the second end. The second end of the strip being free. A mounting plate configured to be attached to the profile. The mounting plate includes the first end of the flexible and deformable strip. The mounting plate also includes a circuit board and at least one separation sensor having a magnet generating an electrical signal which indicates a separation value.

Device to detect separation in an aerodynamic or hydrodynamic profile, comprising a one-piece structure comprising:
- a flexible and deformable strip made from a silicone material extending between a first end and a second end, the second end being free;
- a mounting plate configured to be attached to the aerodynamic or hydrodynamic profile, the mounting plate comprising the first end of the flexible and deformable strip, a circuit board and at least one separation sensor comprising a magnet, the magnet generates an electrical signal indicative of a separation value along three orthogonal axes;
- wherein the circuit board attached to the mounting plate transmits the electrical signal by a radio transmission system or a wired connection;
- and
- wherein said at least one separation sensor is non-intrusive and detects a flow separation without disrupting a flow and without increasing drag.
