The present study investigates the effect of the passive jet control system on the
performance of a vibration energy harvester system (VIVEHS). The shape of a bluff body
plays a crucial role in determining the vortex shedding mechanism, while the passive jet
control system influences the dynamic behavior of these vortices, either enhancing or sup-
pressing the bluff body’s oscillatory performance. This study introduces key innovations,
including the incorporation of perforations in the bluff body, variations in outlet angles,
and different inlet and outlet configurations. In this regard, a two-dimensional numerical
investigation has been carried out to understand and optimize the dynamic response from
the bluff body and its effect on beam deflection. The validation of the numerical code has
been carried out for a cylindrical shaped bluff body using ANSYS Fluent 23.2 numerical
modelling software. Upon validation, the effects of a single inlet and a symmetrical dual
outlet with different outlet angles are numerically analyzed under various flow conditions
to assess their impact on the dynamic behavior of the system. The outlet angle varies
between 30 degrees and 120 degrees with intervals of 30 degrees. The contours of vorticity
and the bluff body dynamic characteristics were observed and plotted for various flow
conditions ranging between 1 m/s and 8 m/s with intervals of 1 m/s. The results of this
numerical study are crucial for designing passive jet control systems in practical energy
harvesting applications. The optimization of outlet configurations and control strategies
can significantly enhance both the efficiency and stability of energy harvesting systems.
