Experimental Investigations of the Unsteady Aerodynamics of Oscillating Airfoils Operating in the Energy Harvesting Regime

Creator:

Siala, Firas F.

Abstract:

The rising global trend to reduce dependence on fossil fuels has provided significant motivation toward the development of alternative energy conversion methods and new technologies to improve their efficiency. Recently, oscillating energy harvesters have shown promise as highly efficient and scalable turbines, which can be implemented in areas where traditional...
