TL;DR: The paper summarizes the works led to the current wind energy and hydro energy harvesters based on the principle of flow- induced vibrations, including bladeless generator Vortex Bladeless, University of Michigan vortex-induced vibrations aquatic clean energy, Australian BPS company's airfoil tidal energy capture device bioSTREAM, and others.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of control rod number, diameter ratio, spacing ratio, and Reynolds number on the hydrodynamics and vibration responses of the main cylinder were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the downstream plate length and the arrangement of plates on the hydrodynamic forces, vibration response and flow wake were examined using the direct numerical simulation (DNS).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of small control cylinders on vortex-induced vibration suppression was investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models coupled with a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) computational method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the process of oil spill from a damaged submarine pipeline to free surface using CFD simulations with FLUENT software, and obtained the dimensionless time required for oil droplets which have the longest horizontal migrate distance when they reach the sea surface and the dimensioness longest horizontal distance the droplets migrated when they reached the surface.
