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

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

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: ...

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 ...

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.

This led to the development of the VIVACE (vortex-induced vibration for aquatic clean energy) converter, a modular system that in the lab generates 51 watts per cubic meter of water flowing at ...

Bernitsas invented the technology — called VIVACE, or Vortex Induced Vibrations for Aquatic Clean Energy. The devices, which contain horizontal cylinders, are placed on a river bottom.

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 – ...
