Design and Numerical Simulations of a Flow Induced Vibration Energy Converter for Underwater Mooring Platforms
Limited battery energy restricts the duration of the underwater operation of underwater mooring platforms (UMPs). In this paper, a flow-induced vibration energy converter (FIVEC) is designed to produce power for the UMPs and extend their operational time. The FIVEC is equipped with a thin plate to c...
