Reynolds-Number-Dependent Energy Harvesting by Freely Rotating Variable-angle Rhombic and Variable-side-length Parallelogram Cylinders
Journal of Carbon Neutrality | Volume 1, Issue 2: 155-166, 2026 | DOI: 10.62762/JCN.2026.692457
Abstract
Bluff-body flow-energy harvesters are commonly designed around translational vibration, whereas freely rotating polygonal sections provide an alternative route that harnesses rotational oscillations. In this study, Reynolds-number-dependent energy-harvesting responses of two reconfigurable sections, a variable-angle rhombic cylinder and a variable-side-length parallelogram cylinder, are investigated using an immersed boundary method. The body rotates freely about its centroid without a linear spring or external damping. Results show that at $Re=40$, decreasing the rhombus angle improves start-up and increases the bounded-oscillation amplitude, favoring oscillation-based harvesting, while the... More >
