Vortex-induced motions are generally known as destructive phenomena for engineering
structures. Nevertheless, they have a positive effect which is their great potential to extract …

This paper presents a review of research done to-date on the dynamics of cylindrical
structures immersed in axially flowing fluid. The dynamics of a flexible cylinder supported at …

Self-sustained oscillations resulting from fluid–solid instabilities, such as the flutter of a
flexible flag in axial flow, can be used to harvest energy if one is able to convert the solid …

By using a two-dimensional numerical approach, we investigate the response of a purely
passive flap** foil flow energy harvester in a linear shear flow. Our focus is to prove that in …

Many technologies based on fluid–structure interaction mechanisms are being developed to
harvest energy from geophysical flows. The velocity of such flows is low, and so is their …

In this paper, we study finite amplitude vibrations of a cantilever beam of rectangular cross
section immersed in a viscous fluid under harmonic base excitation. Fluid–structure …

This paper presents a fully explicit coupled wave–vegetation interaction model capable of
efficiently solving the coupled wave dynamics and flexible vegetation motion with large …

Flexible cylinders exposed to transverse flows may undergo transverse vortex-induced
vibrations due to the oscillating lift force imposed by their wake. But the drag on such …

A fundamental issue for the advance of self-sustainable electronic systems and remote
sensor is the development of energy harvesters able to efficiently convert ambient energy …

This paper describes and analyzes water-tunnel experiments involving flexible cantilevered
cylinders in reverse axial flow, ie flow directed from the free towards the fixed end of the …
