A comprehensive review of hydrokinetic energy converters based on alternating lift
technology (ALT) is provided. Emphasis is on nonlinear oscillators based on Flow Induced …

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 …

Abstract The Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) hydrokinetic energy converter can be used to
harvest low-speed ocean current energy. In order to match the nonlinear resonance …

To harness marine hydrokinetic energy from slow flows, which constitute the majority of
currents, tides, and rivers, new Passive Turbulence Control (PTC), consisting of large …

While it has been known that an afterbody (ie the structural part of a bluff body downstream
of the flow separation points) plays an important role affecting the wake characteristics and …

Recently, energy harvesting through periodic snapping, namely snap-through, has gained
significant attention for energy harvesting applications. In this study, the snapping dynamics …

We numerically study the flow-induced vibration (FIV) response of an elastically-mounted
cylinder in two-dimensional coordinates at Reynolds number of 100. In particular, the effects …

In this study flow around a circular cylinder undergoing transverse-only vortex-induced
vibrations is investigated using a two-dimensional in-house CFD code. The Navier–Stokes …

We numerically investigate vortex-induced vibration of a cooled circular cylinder in the
presence of thermal buoyancy. We employ an in-house fluid-structure interaction solver …

This work applies a combined approach, based on a reduced-order model (ROM) together
with experiments and direct numerical simulations, to investigate the optimal efficiency of …
