Low Reynolds Number Effect on Energy Extraction Performance of Semi-Passive Flapping Foil

In this paper, 2-D numerical solution scheme is used to study the performance of semi-passive flapping foil flow energy harvester at Reynolds numbers ranging from 5000 to 50,000. The energy harvester comprises of NACA0015 airfoil which is supported on a translational spring and damper. An external s...
