Abstract

The VIVACE converter enhances VIV to harness horizontal hydrokinetic energy of water flows. High-Reynolds and high-damping are required to operate VIVACE in ocean/river currents. Scarce VIV data exist in that parametric subspace. Tests are performed for Reynolds number 40,000

► High-amplitude, high-damping VIV is maintained In the high-lift TrSL3 and TrBL0 flow regimes. ► VIV strongly depends on Reynolds in the range 40,000
