This book offers up novel research which uses analytical approaches to explore nonlinear
features exhibited by various dynamic processes. Relevant to disciplines across …

The dynamics and wake modes of vortex-induced vibrations of a sphere mounted on elastic
supports in all three spatial directions are systematically investigated via numerical …

A novel energy harvester based on vortex-induced vibration of the sphere and piezoelectric
effect is proposed to efficiently gather wind energy from all horizontal directions. An …

A unique oscillating wind-driven triboelectric nanogenerator (OWTENG) based on the
sphere's vortex-induced vibration (VIV) behavior is proposed in this study, which can harvest …

In published literature of the vortex-induced vibration of a sphere, limited attention has been
devoted to spheres having three degrees of freedom (DOF) motion and the effect on the …

The current work investigates numerically rolling instabilities of a free-to-roll slender rigid-
body of revolution placed in a wind tunnel at a high angle of attack. The resistance to the roll …

We derive a nonlinear initial boundary value problem for a planar multi-tethered spherical
aerostat system employing the extended Hamilton's principle with geometric constraints …

The flow around an inclined tangent ogive-cylindrical body of a finite length with a blunt
elliptical base, placed in a wind tunnel and allowed to yaw in the xy plane, is studied …

In this research, we employ a computational methodology to investigate the self-excited
angular dynamics of an elastically restrained rigid body in uniform compressible laminar …

We consider the stabilization of a multi-tethered lighter-than-air sphere undergoing vortex-
induced vibrations in uniform flow. Motivated by recent engineering applications, we extend …
