| Abstract | Magnetic levitation (maglev) concepts are applied to a variety of industries such as the automotive, aerospace, or energy in order to accomplish different tasks: suspension and propulsion in maglev trains, rocket propulsion and spacecraft attitude control, centrifuge of nuclear reactors. In this paper, maglev is implemented in environmentally friendly hydrokinetic energy harvesting to achieve contactless bearing, thus, minimizing friction and improving efficiency. Generally, maglev systems exhibit higher efficiency and reduced maintenance while providing longer lifetime and higher durability when appropriate engineering design and control are applied. A Flow Induced Oscillation (FIO) energy-harvesting converter is considered in this work. To minimize friction in the support of the cylinder in FIO (vortex induced vibrations and galloping) due to high hydrodynamic drag, a maglev system is proposed. In the proposed configuration, a ferromagnetic core (element 1), of known dimensions, is considered under the effects of an externally imposed magnetic field. A second ferromagnetic element, of smaller dimensions, is then placed adjacent to the previous considered core. This particular configuration results in a non-homogenous magnetic field for element 1, caused by dimensional disparity. Specifically, the magnetic flux does not follow a linear path from the ferromagnetic core to element 2. A general electromagnetic analysis is conducted to derive an analytical form for the magnetic field of element 1. Subsequent numerical simulation validates the obtained formula. This distinct expression for the magnetic field is valuable towards calculating the magnetic energy of this specific configuration, which is essential to the design of the FIO energy harvesting converter considered in this work. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
