This document mainly explains a new method of evaluate the energy harvested from vortex-induced vibration phenomenon of the circular cylinder. The external flow field of the cylinder has been solved by a RANS method together with the one equation turbulent Spalart-Allmaras model. The feedback effect of the circuit has been calculated by a matrix method to obtain the damping and the natural frequency of the system. Then the voltage output has been solved by a quasi-steady method. Finally, we discuss the computing method of the power output.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
