Abstract
Oscillating or rotating array structures at distinct frequencies are prevalent in natural systems and engineering applications.
• Flow Control in Engineering Systems:
Arrays of vibrating plates can be used to manipulate free-shear and boundary layer flows, reduce drag, or delay flow separation in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics.
• Wave Mitigation Structures:
Arrays of oscillating structures may dissipate energy in coastal areas, reducing the impact of waves on structures or preventing erosion
• Biological Studies:
Simulations of synchronized oscillating arrays can provide insights into fish schooling behavior and hydrodynamic benefits in nature.
• Advanced Cooling Systems:
Oscillating plates in fluid environments can enhance mixing and improve heat transfer in compact cooling systems.
• Energy Harvesting:
Arrays of oscillating plates can be used to extract energy from fluid flows, such as river currents or tidal flows, by converting oscillatory motion into electrical energy.
