“…In earlier researches, this interaction between fluid and structure were utilised to suppress the effect of Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) but there is another scope of VIV to generate energy [9 10]. The importance of horseshoe vortex due to presence of the downstream vertical plate on the cylinder and the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) due to the interaction between the cylinder and vertical plate increase the lift forces which affects the hydrokinetic energy device [11]. The velocity components and TKE are generated for the interaction of the downstream vertical plate and horizontal cylinder placed across flow.…”

“…The horseshoe vortex generated due to the vertical plate -affects the horizontal cylinder movement at different positions. In present study, a 4 cm cylinder placed 2 cm above the bed surface and a vertical plate of 5 cm width placed at 9 cm away from the cylinder towards the downstream of the cylinder which is compared with a 5 cm cylinder placed 2 cm above the bed surface and 5.5 cm away from a vertical plate of the same width placed towards downstream from the cylinder [11].…”

. The flow pattern on the combined effect of a horizontal cylinder and a vertical plate is observed and analysed in this experimental study. The experiment was conducted with a 4 cm outer diameter cylinder arranged horizontally across flow above 2 cm from the bed and a vertical plate of 5 cm placed 9 cm downstream from cylinder surface reference as tilting flume bed surface. The water depth was maintained at 17 cm through a constant discharge of 35 lps in a re-circulating flume. Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) was used to store the velocity fluctuation of velocity components and further used as a pictorial frame to understand the turbulence and the turbulent kinetic energy around the cylinder, plate and in between the cylinder - vertical plate. From the pictorial contour diagrams drawn, the velocity vector represents the flow feature over the cylinder and it is found that a horseshoe vortex, developed upstream of the plate, does effect on turbulent kinetic energy formed in between cylinder and vertical plate. The observation and obtained results from present study is compared with a 5 cm horizontal cylinder above 2 cm from the bed and a plate situated on 5.5 cm from cylinder curvature towards downstream.
