Vortex Induced Vibrations Analysis Across a Tapered Tower
In this paper, 3D flow past a long tapered tower is examined. A tapered tower is described by the taper ratio. Tapered cylinders are a good description of many structures, like wind turbine tower e.t.c. Similar to the flow around cylinders, the Reynolds number is the important flow parameter, and the Strouhal number represents the shedding frequency. These flow patterns are difficult to predict...
متن کاملPerturbation of Vortex Induced Vibrations on a Square Section Cylinder
This paper addresses the vibration of a square section cylinder due to the alternate vortex shedding at moderate Reynolds number (3500). The numerical investigation is focused on the perturbation of the vortex shedding in order to decrease the amplitude of the vibrations at lock-in. By analyzing the unsteady flow results, we show that a control technique spatially localized at the surface of th...
متن کاملHarbor seal vibrissa morphology suppresses vortex-induced vibrations.
Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) often live in dark and turbid waters, where their mystacial vibrissae, or whiskers, play an important role in orientation. Besides detecting and discriminating objects by direct touch, harbor seals use their whiskers to analyze water movements, for example those generated by prey fish or by conspecifics. Even the weak water movements left behind by objects that hav...
متن کاملElectromagnetic energy harvesting from vibrations induced by Kármán vortex street
A new electromagnetic energy harvester for harnessing energy from vibration induced by Kármán vortex street is proposed. It converts flow energy into electrical energy by fluid flow, vortex shedding from a bluff body and electromagnetic induction. An analytical design method for the energy harvester is developed. A prototype of the energy harvester is fabricated and tested. The prototype has a ...
