Research & Publications
Experimental investigation on synergistic flow-induced oscillation of three rough tandem-cylinders in hydrokinetic energy conversion
Harnessing hydrokinetic energy via FIO of three rough tandem cylinders; experiments varied spacing, damping, stiffness, and Reynolds number.
Impact: Achieved 75% of Betz limit for converted power. Galloping harnessed power 3-4 times greater than VIV. Three cylinders harnessed 3.4 to 26.4 times the power of a single isolated cylinder.
Three Cylinders with Large Turbulence Stimulation in Flow Induced Oscillations (VIV & Galloping): Experimental Data
Investigates FIO (VIV & galloping) in three cylinders with large turbulence stimulation, exploring PTC application and mechanical power analysis.
Impact: Relevant to VIVACE converter for hydrokinetic energy harnessing. PTC enhances FIO and broadens high-response flow speed range.
Effect of Obesity on Retinal Integrity in African Americans and Caucasian Americans With Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
Investigates obesity's impact on retinal structures in RRMS patients (AAs vs. CAs) using OCT to measure retinal parameters.
Impact: Obesity is associated with retinal structural abnormalities in RRMS patients, with a potentially more pronounced impact in African Americans. Large longitudinal studies are needed for validation.
Synergistic Flow-Induced Oscillation of Multiple Cylinders in Harvesting Marine Hydrokinetic Energy
Filed provisional patent for novel marine energy harvesting system using multiple VIVACE oscillators for maximum power extraction from slow currents.
Impact: Patent Disclosure #2022-268 with University of Michigan - Addresses critical need for renewable energy extraction from low-velocity water currents
Hydrokinetic Power Conversion Using Vortex-Induced Oscillation with Cubic Restoring Force
Co-authored research on cubic-spring restoring function to improve marine hydrokinetic power harvesting via vortex-induced vibrations.
Impact: Published research contributing to advancement of marine renewable energy technology and VIVACE converter optimization
