Vibrissa inspired geometries enhance sensitivity of wake-induced vibrations
Eva Erickson, Eric E. Handy-Cardenas, Joel W. Newbolt +2
We report on experiments designed to characterize the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) and wake-induced vibration (WIV) experienced by bluff bodies immersed in both steady and unstea…
Generation of an isolated vortex gust through a heaving and pitching foil
Bingfei Yan, Eric Handy-Cardenas, Kenny Breuer +1
This study introduces a vortex gust generation method for isolated vortices impacting a downstream airfoil that is applicable to both numerical simulations and experiments. The vor…
Optimal Kinematics for Energy Harvesting Using Favorable Wake-Foil Interactions in Tandem Oscillating Hydrofoils
Eric E. Handy-Cardenas, Yuanhang Zhu, Kenneth S. Breuer
The energy harvesting performance of a pair of oscillating hydrofoil turbines in tandem configuration is experimentally studied to determine the optimal kinematics of the array. By…
Shape-morphing membranes augment the performance of oscillating foil energy harvesting turbines
Ilan M. L. Upfal, Yuanhang Zhu, Eric Handy-Cardenas +1
Oscillating foil turbines (OFTs) can be used to produce power from rivers and tides by synchronizing their heaving motion with the strong lift force of vortices shed at their leadi…
