Insights from a new study from the University of Glasgow demonstrates how smaller-scale wind power generation can scale up ...

"A 'sweet spot' where power generation is maximized against structural strength." Researchers make groundbreaking discovery ...

The efficiency of wind energy production on a relatively small scale can be enhanced without relying on conventional turbine ...

A white paper by Emerson details options to minimize the impacts of vortex-inducted vibration (VIV). Emerson focuses on advantages with the new design Rosemount Twisted Square thermowell.

How Do Vortex-Induced Vibration Suppression Devices Work? In the offshore subsea environment, weather disruptions and changes in the oceanic environment are common considerations for operators.

Vortex-induced vibration (VIV): Oscillatory motion generated when the periodic shedding of vortices from a structure interacts with its natural frequency. Damping: ...

The most dramatic evidence of the negative effect of vortex-induced vibrations was the collapse of the 1,800m Tacoma Narrows suspension bridge in November 1940. "The Tacoma Narrows Bridge got into ...

Prototypes of the device — known as Vortex Induced Vibrations Aquatic Clean Energy — are essentially round cylinders a few inches across suspended in water on a spring. The vortices generated ...

Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...

Michael Bernitsas, professor of naval architecture and chief executive officer of Vortex Hydro Energy, says his device -VIVACE, which stands for Vortex Induced Vibration for Aquatic Clean Energy – ...
