Tidal power, sometimes called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that exploits the rise and fall in sea levels due to the tides, or the movement of water caused by the tidal flow. Because the tidal forces are caused by interaction between the gravity of the Earth, Moon and Sun, tidal power is essentially inexhaustible and classified as a renewable energy source.
Tidal power can be classified into two types. Tidal stream systems make use of the kinetic energy from the moving water currents to power turbines, in a similar way to underwater wind turbines. This method is gaining in popularity because of the lower ecological impact compared to the second type of system, the barrage. Barrages make use of the potential energy from the difference in height (or head) between high and low tides, and their use is better established.

The document summarizes the design and working of Tesla's bladeless turbine. It discusses that the turbine consists of a rotor with smooth discs mounted on a shaft and a cylindrical stator housing it. Fluid enters through inlet nozzles and exits via exhaust ports on the discs.

Common sources of vibration that can be used for piezoelectric energy harvesting include footsteps on sidewalks, movements from gym equipment, and vibrations from vehicles. The electric energy produced can be stored in batteries or capacitors and used to power small electronic devices. Piezoelectric materials have applications in various technologies including ultrasound imaging, sensors, musical instruments, and automotive engine management systems.

An introduction to vortex-flows and their implications on solid-liquid separa...Hydro International
There is often ambiguity in what constitutes vortex behaviour, and common descriptions are qualitative in nature and therefore necessarily limited. It has become common to identify quantitative features associated with vortices in order to provide a definition.
A full understanding of real-world vortex behaviour enables engineers to develop hydrodynamic separators that minimise short circuiting and maximise the residence time of the fluid, ensuring that the best use is made of the available volumes. With this understanding, separation units can be designed to be resistant to changes in inflow conditions, enabling them to collect a wide range of materials across a wide range of flow rates.
This document discusses fluid-induced vibration (FIV) in heat exchangers. It covers topics like vortex shedding, synchronization, critical velocity, fluid-elastic instability, and vibration damage patterns. The key points are:
- Vortex shedding from cylindrical structures can cause fluid excitation forces at the shedding frequency, and fluid-structure coupling forces if that frequency matches structural natural frequencies.
- There is a critical cross-flow velocity at which fluid-elastic instability occurs, causing rapid increases in vibration amplitude.
- Vibration damage in heat exchangers can include tube collisions, baffle damage, tube sheet effects, and acoustic resonance failures.
Boundary layer PCS1.pptx Fluid Mechanics and Fluid DynamicsRoshanNayak26
The document discusses boundary layer theory and flow separation. Some key points:
- A boundary layer exists near surfaces where a fluid is flowing, within which viscous forces are present. Boundary layers can be laminar or turbulent depending on the Reynolds number.
- Flow separation occurs when the boundary layer detaches from the surface, such as when flowing in an adverse pressure gradient. After separation, eddies and vortices form downstream.
- Separation causes increased drag and other problems. Efforts are made to delay separation through surface design, such as dimples on golf balls and vortex generators on aircraft.
- The Strouhal number characterizes vortex shedding and is a function of flow
The document discusses boundary layers and flow separation. It defines a boundary layer as the layer of fluid close to a surface where viscous forces are present when there is relative motion between the fluid and surface. It notes that boundary layers can be laminar or turbulent, and the Reynolds number determines which type will form. It then explains that flow separation occurs when the boundary layer detaches from the surface, often due to an adverse pressure gradient causing the flow speed at the surface to reduce to zero or become negative. Flow separation can reduce lift and increase drag on objects like aircraft.
Report on Types of fluid flow
fluid dynamics
Introduction
In physics, fluid flow has all kinds of aspects: steady or unsteady, compressible or incompressible, viscous or non-viscous, and rotational or irrotational to name a few. Some of these characteristics reflect properties of the liquid itself, and others focus on how the fluid is moving. Note that fluid flow can get very complex when it becomes turbulent. Physicists haven’t developed any elegant equations to describe turbulence because how turbulence works depends on the individual system whether you have water cascading through a pipe or air streaming out of a jet engine. Usually, you have to resort to computers to handle problems that involve fluid turbulence. Types of fluid flow:
Aerodynamic force
Cavitation
Compressible flow
Couette flow
Free molecular flow
Incompressible flow
This document summarizes research on synthetic jets, which are zero-net mass flux jets formed by alternating suction and ejection of fluid through an orifice. Synthetic jets can be produced over a range of scales and transfer momentum to a flow without mass injection. They are formed by trains of discrete vortices generated at the orifice. Studies have examined the formation and near-field evolution of isolated synthetic jets, as well as their interaction with and ability to modify external crossflows. Synthetic jets show potential as actuators for flow control applications due to their ability to induce virtual changes in surface shape.
This presentation discusses circulation and vorticity in fluid dynamics. It defines circulation and vorticity, describes their mathematical representations, and how vorticity forms. It examines forced and free vortices, and classifies vortices according to their effects. The presentation also explores how vortices impact hydraulic structures like dams and how to suppress vortices, and includes MATLAB code examples and videos to demonstrate circulation and vorticity concepts.
Turbulence occurs in fluid flows when the Reynolds number is high, typically above 2000-100000. This results in chaotic, three-dimensional motions with rotational flow and vortex structures across a wide range of length scales. Turbulent flows are characterized by rapid mixing, diffusion of momentum, and dissipation of kinetic energy into heat. Modeling turbulence requires decomposing the velocity field and solving time-averaged equations that account for the effects of turbulent fluctuations and Reynolds stresses.
This document is Emeka Chijioke's engineering diploma thesis on numerically modelling the laminar to turbulent flow transition in a compressor cascade. It was advised by Dr. Sławomir Kubacki and submitted to the Warsaw University of Technology's Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering in January 2012. The thesis aims to numerically calculate and understand the flow behavior over a NACA 65 series airfoil using computational fluid dynamics software and correlate the results with experimental data from a previous study on flow transition. The thesis includes chapters on the governing equations, computational details, results and discussion, and conclusions.
This document summarizes the rajiform locomotion method of undulatory stingrays. It describes how stingrays use wave-like motions of their pectoral fins to generate thrust for swimming. Key points include: stingrays produce sinusoidal waves along their fins using muscle contractions; these waves interact with surrounding water to generate forces that propel the stingray forward; optimal efficiency occurs within a specific range of the Strouhal number; stingrays secrete mucus to reduce fluid friction; and while stingrays are highly efficient swimmers, adding a swim bladder could help reduce energy usage during migration.
This document provides an introduction to key concepts in fluid mechanics. It begins by outlining the objectives of understanding basic fluid mechanics concepts. It then discusses various fluid flow types and conditions like laminar versus turbulent flow, compressible versus incompressible flow, and internal versus external flow. Key concepts like viscosity, vapor pressure, cavitation, surface tension, and capillary effects are also introduced. Equations for hydrostatic forces on submerged surfaces are provided. In summary, the document serves as an overview of fundamental fluid mechanics topics.
The slam induced loads on two-dimensional bodies have been studied by applying an explicit
finite element code which is based on a multi-material arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian
formulation and penalty coupling method. This work focuses on the assessment of total
vertical slamming force, pressure distributions at different time instances and pressure
histories on the wetted surfaces of typical rigid bodies. Meanwhile, the simulation technique
involved in the two-dimensional slamming problem is discussed through related parameter
study.
Flow-induced vibration in heat exchangers has been a major problem for decades. Three main mechanisms that cause vibration are fluid-elastic instability, vortex shedding, and multi-phase buffeting. Fluid-elastic instability is the most important mechanism for shell and tube heat exchangers. Several studies have analyzed vibration experimentally and through computational fluid dynamics simulations. Parameters like damping ratios, tube properties, fluid properties, and flow velocities are important factors in vibration analysis and predicting the onset of instability.

Flow separation control using plasma vortex generatorsKamran Ashraf
The document summarizes an experiment that investigated using plasma vortex generators for flow separation control. Plasma vortex generators were developed that have a yaw angle of 0 degrees, minimizing drag penalties compared to conventional vortex generators. Experiments were conducted on a turbulent boundary layer over a 20 degree inclined surface. The plasma vortex generators were able to suppress flow separation, as visualized using smoke and measured using velocity profiles, similarly to conventional vortex generators. However, the plasma vortex generators allow flow control to be switched on and off to minimize drag when not needed. The results indicate plasma vortex generators could be an improved active flow control device.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives.

Energy generation from vortex induced vibrations report
1. Energy Generation from Vortex Induced Vibrations
1. Introduction
The issue of global climate change and the growing energy demand induce a need
for innovative energy harvesting devices. Geophysical flows represent a widely
available source of clean energy, useful to tackle the global energy demand using for
example wind turbines, marine turbines or wave energy converters. Yet, the energy
density in geophysical flows is small, and large systems are required in order to
harvest significant amount of energy.
The turbine generator is the most mature method for flow energy harvesting.
However, the efficiency of conventional turbines reduces with their sizes due to the
increased effect of friction losses in the bearings and the reduced surface area of the
blades. Furthermore, rotating components such as bearings suffer from fatigue and
wear, especially when miniaturised. These drawbacks of turbine generators urges
emergence of a new area in energy harvesting, i.e. energy harvesting from flow
induced vibration. The flow here includes both liquid flow and air flow. There are
three main types of energy harvester of this kind. They are energy harvesting from
vortex-induced vibration (VIV), flutter energy harvesters and energy harvesters with
Helmholtz resonators.
Flow-induced vibration, as a discipline, is very important in our daily life,
especially in mechanical engineering. Generally, scientists try to avoid flow-induced
vibration in buildings and structures to reduce possible damage. Recently, such
vibration has been investigated as an energy source that can be used to generate
electrical energy. Two types of flow-induced vibration are studied so far: vortex-induced
vibration and flutter
Dept of mechanical Engg. SJCET, Palai Page 1
2. Energy Generation from Vortex Induced Vibrations
2. Vortex Induced Vibrations
The non-linear resonance phenomenon known as Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV)
has much relevance in several branches of mechanical engineering. For example, it
can be observed in civil structures, like slender chimneys stacks, tall buildings,
electric power lines or bridges, to name a few. It is also usual in offshore structures or
in the tubes of heat exchange devices. Because its practical and scientific interest,
VIV has lead to a large number of fundamental studies. Usually, VIV is considered as
an undesirable effect, as it may seriously affect the structural integrity or the
reliability of performance, but along this report we will see that if the vibration is
substantial, it can be used to extract useful energy from the surrounding flow
An original way to extract energy from these flows is to take advantage of flow-induced
vibrations, [2]. For instance, several devices based on fluid-elastic
instabilities like transverse galloping or flutter have already been introduced. [2–3].
Another kind of flow-induced oscillations that can be useful to harvest energy from a
flow is the vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of a bluff body [1,2].The model is
presented and the generic case of energy extraction using VIV of an elastically-mounted
short rigid cylinder is analyzed.
3. Principle
When a fluid flows toward the leading edge of a bluff body, the pressure in the fluid
rises from the free steam pressure to the stagnation pressure. When the flow speed is
low, i.e. the Reynolds number is low, pressure on both sides of the bluff body remains
symmetric and no turbulence appears. When the flow speed is increased to a critical
value, pressure on both sides of the bluff body becomes unstable, which causes a
regular pattern of vortices, called vortex street or Kármán vortex street. Certain
transduction mechanisms can be employed where vortices happen and thus energy
can be extracted [3] . This method is suitable both air flow and liquid flow.

3. Energy Generation from Vortex Induced Vibrations
Figure 1 : Flow around a bluff body
3.1 Physics Theory
Vortex shedding is a widely occurring phenomenon applicable to nearly any
bluff (non streamlined) body submerged in a fluid flow. Since any real fluid flow is
viscous, there will be a significant boundary layer on the bodies’ surface for all but
the lowest Reynolds number flows. At some point along the bodies’ surface,
separation of the boundary layer will occur, depending on the exact surface geometry.
This separated layer, which bounds the wake and free stream, will tend to cause fluid
rotation, since its outer side, in contact with the free stream, moves faster than its
inner side, in contact with the wake. It is this rotation which then results in the
formation of individual vortices, which are then shed from the rear of the body and
travel down the wake. Typically, a pattern of periodic, alternating vortex shedding
will occur in the flow behind the body, which is referred to as a vortex street.
Depending on the characteristics of the flow, mainly the Reynolds number, different
types of vortex streets may form, which will be discussed later in more detail. When
the pattern of shed vortices is not symmetrical about the body, which is the case in
any vortex street, an irregular pressure distribution is formed on the upper and lower
sides of the body, which results in a net lift force perpendicular to the flow direction.
Since the vortices are shed in a periodic manner, the resulting lift forces on the body
also vary periodically with time, and there for can induce oscillatory motion of the
body. This occurrence alone would qualify as vortex induced vibration; however,
there is a more interesting and important phenomenon, similar to linear resonance,
which can occur when the frequency of vortex shedding (fs) is close to the natural
frequency of the body in motion, (fn). In this phenomenon, referred to as “lock in”,
the vortex shedding frequency actually shifts to match the bodies’ natural frequency,
and as a result, much larger amplitudes of vibration can occur. It is this particular
aspect of vortex induced vibration, lock in, which has traditionally been of greatest
Dept of mechanical Engg. SJCET, Palai Page 3
4. Energy Generation from Vortex Induced Vibrations
concern to structural engineers, since it poses the greatest risk of damage or failure.
Accordingly, the range of shedding frequencies which lock in can occur over is one of
the most important research areas within vortex induced vibration.
3.1.1 Vortex Shedding
Like many fluid flow phenomenon, vortex shedding has been observed to be directly
dependent on the Reynolds number of the flow, which is defined in Eq. 2-1.
Re = (U*D)/υ ........Eq. 2-1
U is the free stream velocity, D is the cylinder diameter, and υ is the kinematic
viscosity of the fluid. As a note, most studies in literature were in fact performed
using a submerged cylinder, which is the geometry later used in the experimental
methodology, so the correlation length of cylinder diameter used in Re is appropriate
and widely applicable, as many submerge structures are typically cylindrical in shape.
Figure 2 : Formation of vortices for various Reynolds number
Dept of mechanical Engg. SJCET, Palai Page 4
5. Energy Generation from Vortex Induced Vibrations
3.1.2 Strouhal Number
An additional non-dimensional parameter has been established to relate the
frequency of vortex shedding (fs) to the flow conditions. This is given by the
Strouhal number S, and is defined in Eq. 2-2.
S = D *(fs) /U ........Eq. 2-2
Again, U is the free stream velocity, and D is the cylinder diameter. For a wide
range of Reynolds number, the Strouhal number varies very little, and can
essentially be taken as constant, as seen in Figure 3.
Figure 3 : Reynolds number and Strouhal number relationship
3.1.3 Lock In
As introduced earlier, lock in is a particular aspect of VIV which can result in
relatively large amplitudes of forced vibration. An analytical theory of lock in
based on first principles does not presently exist, and much of the research
Dept of mechanical Engg. SJCET, Palai Page 5
6. Energy Generation from Vortex Induced Vibrations
encountered only gives descriptive or semi empirical evidence. As a result, the
present analysis only focuses on the key findings which are relevant to achieving
large amplitude vibrations, for the purpose of energy generation. Lock in is similar
to linear resonance in that the vibration amplitudes increase as the natural
frequency of the cylinder is approached by the vortex shedding frequency.
However, the analogy stops here, as lock in is a highly non-linear phenomenon,
affected by feedback loops referred to as fluid structure interaction. Additionally,
lock in does not result in the classic large amplitude spike at exactly the natural
frequency, as in linear resonance. Instead, lock in has been described as both a
self-limiting and self-governing occurrence, as the cylinder vibrations themselves
effect the vortex shedding process, and vice versa. It is self-limiting in the sense
that as the cylinder displacement increases, the vortex shedding is weakened, and
hence tends toreduce further motion.
3.1.4 Boundary Gap
Another modeling constraint affecting the oscillation of the cylinder is the
boundary gap ratio. The gap ratio is equal to the minimum distance between the
cylinder and lower flow surface boundary divided by the diameter of the cylinder.
The coefficient of viscous drag and lift coefficient were directly related to the gap
ratio. As the gap ratio increases, viscous drag decreases and lift increases. This is
due to the effect of the gap ratio on vortex shedding. When the cylinder is in close
proximity to the flow surface boundary, flow over the cylinder is uneven. Normal
vortex shedding patterns are weakened or disrupted completely. It was found that,
for a boundary gap value of about 3.0 or greater, the effect of the boundary gap on
vortex shedding was negligible. To calculate an appropriate gap distance for a
1.25” diameter cylinder, as will be used in the test apparatus, multiply the cylinder
diameter by three: 3*1.25” = 3.75”. This yields a gap ratio of 3, rendering the
effects of the boundary on vortex shedding negligible.
4. Energy Harvesting In Liquid Flow
The energy harvester based on Kármán vortex street is shown in the
“Electromagnetic energy harvesting from vibrations induced by Karman vortex street
“ (Dung-An Wang , Chun-Yuan Chiu, Huy-Tuan Pham)[3]. One approach to harvest
Dept of mechanical Engg. SJCET, Palai Page 6
7. Energy Generation from Vortex Induced Vibrations
energy is to convert mechanical energy of ambient vibration into electrical energy by
electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic harvesters have been proposed and
investigated by many researchers. Electromagnetic energy-harvesting device based on
vibration induced by Karman vortex Street is illustrated in figure 4(a), a flow channel
with a flexible diaphragm is connected to a flow source. A permanent magnet is glued
to a bulge on top of the diaphragm and a coil is placed above the magnet. The
pressure fluctuation due to vortex shedding from a bluff body drives the diaphragm
into vibration. As shown in Fig 4(b). the increase of the pressure causes the
diaphragm to deflect in the upward direction. As the pressure increases to the
maximum, the diaphragm reaches its highest position. When the pressure drops, the
diaphragm moves downward shown in Fig 4(c). As the pressure decreases to the
minimum, the diaphragm reaches its lowest position .Thus, by connecting the energy
harvester to a flow source, the oscillating movement of the diaphragm with an
attached magnet under a coil makes the energy harvesting possible.

5. Vortex Induced Vibration Aquatic Clean Energy (VIVACE)
The Vortex Induced Vibration Aquatic Clean Energy converter design was
patented in 2008 by Professor Michael Bernitsas of the University of Michigan. The
converter harnesses energy from water flow using vortex induced vibrations. The
VIVACE system is composed of a cylinder secured horizontally in a stationary frame
and allowed to oscillate transverse to the direction of water flow. The cylinder is
connected to the frame at the ends of the cylinder, where magnetic sliders move up
and down over a rail containing a coil. The motion of the magnet over the coil creates
a DC current, which can be stored or converted to AC to be sent into the grid. This
technology is superior to dam technology in several ways. It is capable of producing
energy from fluid flow without altering the local environment, posing any danger to
nearby residents, changing the landscape in any visible way, or interfering with water
traffic in any slow moving waterway (0.5-5 knots). Energy generation from VIV has
significant potential for coastal areas as well. Energy demand in coastal regions is
much larger than demand inland. Scalability and versatility are two of the greatest
strengths of this technology. Modules can range in size from single-cylinder arrays to
thousand-cylinder, mega-watt producing power plants. In their initial report, Bernitsas
et al. outline array specifications for 1kW to 1000MW cylinder arrays. Areas of

potential power production include ocean water bodies and rivers. Flow in the prime
production speeds required for this technology is significantly lower than for other
turbine based hydrokinetic technologies.
According to Bernitsas, VIVACE has superior energy density compared with
other nonturbine ocean energy technologies. As of August 2010, Bernitsas’ start-up
company, Vortex Hydro Energy, has begun open water tests in the St. Clair River in
Port Huron, MI

5.1. Physical Model
A simple schematic of a single module of the VIVACE Converter considered
in this paper is depicted in Figure 6. The elements of this module are: a circular rigid
cylinder of diameter D and length L, two supporting linear springs each of stiffness
k/2, system damping system, one or more generators, generator damping,
transmission damping , and the energy generating damping . The cylinder is placed
with its axis in the z direction perpendicular to the flow velocity U, which is in
direction x. The cylinder oscillates in the y direction, which is perpendicular to its axis
in z and the flow velocity in x. As discussed in Section V, the VIVACE Converter
design is modular, scalable, and flexible in the sense of geometry and configuration.
Thus, converters of various sizes can be developed by assembling modules of various
sizes and properties in a variety of configurations.

VIV. The oscillating cylinders are attached by small pins to sliding bearings on a steel
rod with springs and damping to provide an elastic support to achieve VIV of the
cylinders. The PTO system presently used in the VIVACE Converter lab models
consists of a gear-belt transmission system and an off-the-shelf rotary generator.
Alternatives such as a hydraulic system or a linear generator are possible.
Figure 7 : VIVACE setup
There is use of a hydraulic system to connect multiple VIVACE modules to
one generator. Direct transmission to mechanical energy through hydraulics to pump
water for irrigation or raise pressure for water desalination is being studied as well. In
addition to the quantities used to define a module, for a VIVACE Converter assembly,
the following geometric variables need to be defined as shown in Figure 8: h = water
depth, d = draft of the VIVACE Converter assembly, t = vertical distance between
centers of cylinders, p = horizontal distance between centers of cylinders.

these calculations are summarized in Tables 1, 2, 3. Table 5 shows the fuel cost per

movements, however commonly applied technologies rely on principles more
applicable in hydroelectric dams. Tidal stream currentsin some areas are not strong
enough to make such turbines both efficient and economically viable. A new low-energy
vortex shedding vertical axis turbine (VOSTURB) to combat the inefficiencies
and challenges of hydro-turbines in low velocity free tidal streams is available. Some
of the energy in tidal streams is extracted naturally from vortex shedding; as water
streams past a bluff body, such as pier, low pressure vortices form alternatively on
each side, inducing a rhythm of pressure differentials on the bluff body and anything
in its wake. VOSTURB aims to capture this energy of the vortices by installing a
hydrofoil subsequent to the bluff body. This foil, free to oscillate, translates the vortex
energy into oscillatory motion, which can be converted into a form of potential
energy. It aims to harvest such foil motion, or the ability of VOSTURB to capture
vortex energy, and begin to use the amount of tidal energy that can be theoretically
harnessed. A small scale model of VOSTURB, a cylindrical bluff body with a
hammer shaped hydrofoils shown below. Ultimately it was found that the frequency
of the VOSTURB foil oscillations corresponded highly with the theoretical frequency
of vortex shedding for all moderate to high flow speeds [6]. Low speeds were found
to produce inconsistent and intermittent small oscillations. This signifies at moderate
to high flow speeds, VOSTURB was able to transform some vortical energy into
kinetic. The maximum average power obtained 8.4 mW corresponded to the highest
flow velocity 0.27 m/s [6]. Scaled to prototype conditions this represented 50 W at a
flow velocity of 0.95m/s, the maximum available . Although it was ascertained that
VOSTURB could consistently capture some of the vortical energy; the percentage of
which could not be calculated with certainty. Thus, the average kinetic power
assessments of the foil were compared to the available power of the mean flow for
each flow speed calculated by two methods: (1) over the foil's swept area; (2) the area
of fluid displaced by the bluff body immediately in front of the foil. The maximum
efficiency of the foil, found for the fastest flow speed was at 18% and 45%
respectively. It was found that both average foil power, available flow power, and
efficiency all decreased with a decrease in flow velocity. This study can serve as only
a preliminary study for the effectiveness of VOSTURB as a hydro-turbine for tidal

power. In the experiments, the foil was allowed to oscillate freely with little
resistance. Future testing of VOSTURB needs to observe whether the vortex energy
can overcome the resistive torque introduced by a generator to induce oscillatory
motion as well as further optimize the foil design.

7. Energy harvesting in air flow
One method of energy harvesting based on Kármán vortex street, called
flapping-leaf. The flapping-leaf energy harvester had the same principle as the
‘energy harvesting eel’ while it was only designed to work in airflow. The device
consisted of a PVDF cantilever with one end clamped on a bluff body and the other
end connected to a triangular plastic leaf. When the airflow passed the bluff body, the
vortices produced , fluctuated the leaf and thus the PVDF cantilever to produce
electrical energy. The energy harvester generated a maximum output power of 17μW
under the wind of 6.5m/s [5]. It consists of a flexible plate with piezoelectric
laminates which was placed behind a bluff body. It was excited by a uniform axial
flow field in a manner analogous to a flapping flag such that the system delivered
power to an electrical impedance load. Experimental results showed that a RMS
output power of 2.5 mW can be derived under a wind of 27m/s. The generator was
estimated to have an efficiency of 17%. The plate had dimensions of 310 mm × 101
mm × 0.39 mm and the bluff body has a length of 550 mm.Dimensions of the
piezoelectric laminate were 25.4 mm × 20.3 mm × 0.25 mm. Jung and Lee (2011)
recently presented a similar electromagnetic energy harvester as VIVACE. Instead of
operating under water, this device was designed to work under air flow. In addition,
this device had a fixed cylinder bluff body in front of the mobile cylinder. These two
cylinders had the same dimensions. It was found that the displacement of the mobile
cylinder largely depends on the distance between the two cylinders and the maximum
displacement can be achieved when this distance was between three and six times of
the cylinder diameter. In the experiments, a prototype device can produce an average
output power of 50-370 mW under wind of 2.5-4.5 m/s. Both cylinders had a diameter
of 5cm and a length of 0.85 m. Zhu et al(2010c) presented a novel miniature wind
generator for wireless sensing applications. The generator consisted of a wing that
was attached to a cantilever spring made of beryllium copper. The airflow over the
wing caused the cantilever to bend upwards, the degree of bending being a function of
the lift force from the wing and the spring constant. As the cantilever deflects
downwards, the flow of air is reduced by the bluff body and the lift force reduced
causing the cantilever to spring back upwards. This exposes it to the full airflow again
and the cycle is repeated. When the frequency of this movement approaches the
resonant frequency of the structure, the wing has the maximum displacement. A

permanent magnet was fixed on the wing while a coil was attached to the base of the
generator. The movement of the wing caused the magnetic flux cutting the coil to
change, which generated electrical power. The proposed device has dimensions of
12cm × 8cm × 6.5cm. It can start working at a wind speed as low as 2.5m/s when the
generator produced an output power of 470 μW. This is sufficient for periodic sensing
and wireless transmission. When the wind speed was 5 m/s , the output power reached
1.6 mW

7.1 Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting
Piezoelectric transducers have been used in several designs for fluid flow
energy harvesting. Their goal is to generate power, on the scale of microwatts and
milliwatts, for small electronic devices such as remote sensors. There have been flag-like
devices built, one of which is a piezoelectric eel , which is an underwater sheet of
piezoelectric polymer that oscillates in the wake of a bluff body. Operating in air,
other devices are based on more conventional rotating turbine designs that implement
piezoelectrics driven by cam systems .In the category of wheat-like generators is an
oscillating blade generator, which uses a piezoelectric transducer to connect a steel
leaf spring to leaf-like ears. The device utilized a vertical rigid sail, fixed to a

vertically cantilevered piezoelectric transducer. These devices would oscillate in a
fixed direction when introduced to wind
A photograph of one of the devices is shown in Figure 5. The assembly would
be placed in a moving air stream, such that the plane of the sail and the piezo buzzer
was perpendicular to the flow. The sail would oscillate forwards and backward
relative to the flow, causing the piezo to bend back and forth. This, through the direct
piezoelectric effect, would cause the piezo to generate a current through any electric
load connected to it.

7.2 Remote Sensing Application
Operating on the micro and milliwatt scale, devices of this type are not
necessarily designed to be alternatives to large scale energy generation. Instead, most
of these devices, including ours, are designed for applications where batteries or long
power cords can be eliminated. In the right application, this can lead to a savings in
capital, maintenance, or labour costs.

21. Energy Generation from Vortex Induced Vibrations
One application that is a prime candidate for using energy harvesting devices
is remote sensing. Environmental and structural sensors are often used in locations
where providing power and data connections is not cost effective. Instead, sensors
transmit data wirelessly, and power is provided at the individual sensor. To limit
power requirements needed for data transmission, sensor networks are often designed
where each sensor operates as a node, relaying data along from other sensors. Power
often comes from a battery, but there the capacity of the battery must be able to
handle the drain from the device long enough that it does not become too time and
labor intensive to periodically replace. This situation can be alleviated by generating
energy onsite, which is where energy harvesting devices become an option. Through
these devices, power is either continuously provided to the sensor electronics, or more
often, it is stored in a small battery or capacitor to provide more continuous power.
This is a viable solution as long as the average power output of the energy harvester is
more than the average consumption of the sensor, over periods of time for which the
intermediate storage can provide power.

8. Conclusion
A vibration energy harvester is an energy harvesting device that couples a
certain transduction mechanism to ambient vibration and converts mechanical energy
to electrical energy. Ambient vibration includes machinery vibration, human
movement and flow induced vibration. For energy harvesting from machinery
vibration, the most common solution is to design a linear generator that converts
kinetic energy to electrical energy using certain transduction mechanisms, such as
electromagnetic, piezoelectric and electrostatic transducers. Electromagnetic energy
harvesters have the highest power density among the three transducers. However,
performance of electromagnetic vibration energy harvesters reduces a lot in micro
scale, which makes it not suitable for Magneto-electromagnetic System (MEMS)
applications.
Energy harvesters from flow-induced vibration, as an alternative to turbine
generators, have drawn more and more attention. Useful amount of energy has been
generated by existing devices and the start flow speed has been reduced to as low as
2.5 m/s. However, most reported devices that produce useful energy are too large in
volume compared to other vibration energy harvesters. Thus, it is difficult to integrate
these devices into wireless sensor nodes or other wireless electronic systems. Future
work should focus on miniaturise these energy harvesters while maintain current
power level. In addition, researches should be done to further reduce the start flow
speed to allow this technology wider application.
