In this paper, the prospect of harvesting energy from flow induced-vibration of a square cylinder is assessed. The extraction of energy from the flow is attained by mounting the square cylinder on a one-degree elastic system with a massdamping (m*ζ) of 2.75. OpenFOAM®, an open source CFD package is...
