Current Energy Harnessing using Synergistic Kinematics of Schools of Fish-Shaped Bodies: Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory Tank Testing Data

Description

The objectives of the proposed work pertain to building a high power-density and high efficiency device to harness MHK energy by mimicking fish-school kinematics. Vortex Hydro Energy is collaborating with a concept formed and undergone preliminary testing at the University of Michigan to complete this task. This submission contains data from the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory tank testing for 1, 2, and 3 cylinders. Tests were run in a 10,000 gallon recirculating tank. Cylinders have a diameter of 0.0889 m and 0.895m long. See "Read Me" for file format explanation and additional details.

57 Test data of two cylinders, mass ratio 1.343 Spacing 2.0 diameters The file names are as follows: The first 8 digits are the date YYYYMMDD The second 6 digits are the time HHMMSS The next number is the spring constant in N/m with the cylinder number expressed after. e.g. k400_2 = 400 n/m second cylinder The next digits are the damping ratio The final digits are the flow speed. Flow speed is expressed in motor frequency. Use FlowSpeedConverter.txt to convert flow speed to m/s. The data from each cyilnder is stored in a separate file. The timestamp of the cylinders from the same test will match. https://mhkdr.openei.org/files/209/TwoCylinders_MassRatio1.343_Spacing2.0%20%282%29.zip
