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 ...

Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) are a critical aerodynamic phenomenon affecting the dynamic performance and structural integrity of long-span bridges. These oscillations arise when alternating ...

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.

Eva Erickson was the second-place finisher on “Survivor” and the first openly autistic person to compete on the popular ...

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.

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 – ...

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 ...

When a current flows past a cylindrical object such as a riser, tendon, jumper or horizontal pipeline span, it creates a phenomenon called vortex-induced vibration (VIV).
