Abstract
This review presents the overview of construction, working, mathematics, and physics behind a device invented by Bernitsas which is called as VIVACE (vortex induced vibration for aquatic clean energy). Various modifications and investigations were carried out in a device called as a VIVACE (vortex induced vibration for aquatic clean energy) in last two decades since its inception by Bernitsas. This review systematically explains the use of cylindrical suspended bars to exploit von Karman effect for energy harvesting at optimal trade-off between maximum oscillation amplitude and available low velocity of the water flow in ocean. A systematic review is done to understand the physics behind the vortex shedding, basic construction and working of the experimental setup are discussed, and finally, a mathematical model is also given to understand the interrelationship between voltage generated and oscillation amplitude. A brief parametric study also shows the various input parameters those can be optimized to get maximum energy.
