- Understanding the complex physics of vortex-dominated unsteady flows is crucial for the efficient application of oscillating-wing power generators, and the harvesting of renewable energy. This paper is significant because it provides new understanding of the physics that underpin oscillating wing energy harvesters, which can be used to optimise their design and efficiency. The research, which has been implemented by AeroHydro Research & Technology Associates (CA, USA), demonstrated that applying non-sinusoidal motion profiles can improve the efficiency of energy harvester compared to conventional designs.
