Abstract The Vortex-Induced Vibration for Aquatic Clean Energy converter is an alternating
lift technology converter (ALT) utilizing flow-induced oscillations (FIOs) to harness power …

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 …

Extensive two dimensional CFD simulations were carried out to investigate the hybrid
active/semi-active cross-flow vortex induced vibration (VIV) suppression of a flexibly …

When the VIVACE converter is operated in shallow water, the free surface in its proximity
plays a critical role in affecting the dynamic response and the consequent energy harvesting …

Passive turbulence control of flow induced motion of a cylinder using strips has been
practiced for over 30 years. The two distinct physical characteristics of strips: thickness and …

Helical strakes as a classic passive control method for vortex-induced vibration (VIV), have
been extensively studied, but wake-induced galloping (WIG) control of three tandem …

This experimental study investigated the control induced by a spanwise surface wire on a
rigid circular cylinder undergoing vortex-induced vibration (VIV) under the conditions of low …

The transient flow behind a bluff body is a common phenomenon in engineering
applications. However, most of the research attention is fully developed flow, rather than the …

The effects of symmetric strips on the flow-induced oscillation (FIO) of a cylinder in a uniform
flow are investigated numerically. A pair of symmetric smooth strips are attached parallelly to …

Featured Application The numerical approach in this article can provide abundant
information about the transient flow of the fluid shape changes with boundary motion and …
