Numerical Study of an Oscillating-Wing Wingmill for Ocean Current Energy Harvesting: Fluid-Solid-Body Interaction with Feedback Control

The performance and flow around an oscillating foil device for current energy extraction (a wingmill) was studied through numerical simulations. OpenFOAM was used in order to study the two-dimensional (2D) flow around a wingmill. A closed loop control law was coded in order to follow a reference ang...
