As an abundant, clean, and predictable source of renewable energy, tidal current energy
provides a cost-effective alternative to fossil fuels. Tidal current energy harvesting …

Interest in the advancement of hydrokinetic energy conversion (HEC) technology has grown
substantially in recent years. The hydrokinetic industry has advanced beyond the initial …

Flapping wing structures have drawn increasing attention for harvesting energy from flowing
fluids. This work proposes the application of an adaptive Gurney flap to the trailing end of a …

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 …

This paper deals with an aeroelastic problem that consists into self-sustained, pitch-heave
oscillations of an elastically-mounted airfoil. Such oscillations of an airfoil could be used in …

In the field of renewable energy, high-altitude wind energy emerges as a promising source,
particularly at altitudes (> 300 m) where conventional wind turbines cannot reach. Currently …

Despite the valuable previous studies on energy harvesting from flutter instability, no
decisive ranking still exists between fluttering generators and harvesters based on other …

The performance of a semi-passive oscillating hydrofoil, with activated pitching motion and
induced heaving motion, is numerically studied by OpenFoam. The two-dimensional …

The flexibility effects on the performance of a flapping foil power generator are numerically
studied by using the immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method at a Reynolds number of …
