Numerical Investigation of the Geometrical Effect on Flow-Induced Vibration Performance of Pivoted Bodies

In this study, the Flow-Induced Vibration (FIV) of pivoted cylinders (at a distance) is numerically investigated as a potential source of energy harvesting. In particular, we investigate the effect of pivot point placement, arm length, and natural frequency on the FIV performance of six different cr...
