Introduction
Global climate change induce a need for innovative energy harvesting devices
drawbacks of turbine generators urges emergence of a new area energy harvesting from flow induced vibration
A kind of flow-induced oscillations that can be useful to harvest energy from a flow is the Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIV) of a bluff body
VORTEX INDUCED VIBRATIONS
The vibration caused by a fluid flowing around a body due to
formation of vortices is known as vortex-induced vibration .
Vortex is a region of spinning motion about an imaginary axis
within a fluid flow
Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) is important mechanical
engineering - considered as an undesirable effect
We will see that if the vibration is substantial, it can be used to
extract useful energy from the surrounding flow
Physics Theory
Vortex Shedding
• An oscillating flow that takes place when a fluid flows past a
cylindrical body at certain velocities .
• Vortices are created at the back of the body and detach
periodically from either side of the body .
• Alternating vortex shedding is referred as a vortex street
• Dependent on the Reynolds number of the flow
Strouhal Number
• Non-dimensional parameter relates the frequency of vortex
shedding , fS , to the flow conditions .
Strouhal number , S= (D *fs )/U
U is the free stream velocity, and D is the cylinder diameter
Lock In
• Lock in can result in relatively large amplitudes of forced vibration.
• Similar to linear resonance.
• Increase in vibration amplitudes the natural frequency of the
cylinder is approached by the vortex shedding frequency .

Vortex Induced Vibration Aquatic Clean
Energy (VIVACE)
The VIVACE converter is a transformational technology.
It taps into a vast new source of clean and renewable
energy .
water currents as slow as 2 to 4 knots
(1.02 m/s to 2.05 m/s )
to conventional turbine technology that target rivers with
water currents greater than 4 knots.
Open water testing in the St. Clair River, at Port Huron, MI in 2011
Can be used for –
• Supply of electricity to offshore facilities without supplying diesel to generator
sets.
• Replacement for dams without altering the riverine environment.
• Modular VIVACE units could be used and then removed and re-used at another
site.
Comparison of VIVACE to other alternative
energy sources
Comparison of energy sources
• Comparison is done in terms of cost in $/kWh
Energy Harvesting in Air Flow
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting
• vertical rigid sail is fixed to a vertically cantilevered piezoelectric transducer.
• Sail oscillates in a fixed direction when introduced to wind.
• The piezoelectric transducer bends back and forth .
• Thus, through the direct piezoelectric effect,
electricity is produced
Remote Sensing Applications .
• Batteries or long power cords can be eliminated.
• Savings in capital, maintenance, or labour costs.
• Power is either continuously provided to the sensor or stored
in a small battery or capacitor
Conclusion
Energy harvesters from flow-induced vibration, is an
alternative to turbine generators .
Focus should be to miniaturise these energy harvesters
while maintaining current power level.
Additional researches should be done to further reduce the
start flow speed to allow this technology wider application
