The fluid dynamics of flapping foils are reviewed in this article. A very wide range of
researches are conducted for the two-dimensional flapping foil which has a relatively simple …

Natural hydro environments such as rivers and ocean currents provide abundant and
essentially free sources of kinetic energy. Although significant research has been devoted to …

The dynamics of a fully-passive flapping-foil turbine, operating at a Reynolds number of 3.9×
10 6, is studied via two-dimensional fluid-structure numerical simulations. The foil is allowed …

Experiments were conducted to assess the performance of a fully-passive flapping-foil
hydrokinetic turbine for which the self-induced and self-sustained blade motions are …

In this article, the effect of the pivot point location on the thrust performance of a two-
dimensional sinusoidal flapping elliptic airfoil in a forward flight condition is investigated …

A numerical study is carried out to investigate the energy harvesting from an inverted foil
undergoing flow-induced pitching oscillation for reduced velocity Ur= 1–45 and damping …

This study experimentally investigates the in-line flow-induced vibration (FIV) of an
elastically mounted circular cylinder under forced axial rotation in a free stream. The present …

The dynamic behaviour of a fully passive flapping foil hydrokinetic turbine is experimentally
investigated at a Reynolds number of 6× 10 4. Previous numerical simulations showed that …

Abstract Effects of pitching motion profile on energy harvesting performance of a semi-active
flapping foil are numerically studied using immersed boundary method. Firstly, the numerical …

This study experimentally investigates the influence of structural damping on the transverse
flow-induced vibration (FIV) of an elastically mounted thin elliptical cylinder. The cylinder …
