Fluid-solid-electric energy transport along piezoelectric flags
Y. Xia, O. Doare, S. Michelin
The fluid-solid-electric dynamics of a flexible plate covered by interconnected piezoelectric patches in an axial steady flow are investigated using numerical simulations based on…
Synchronized flutter of two slender flags
Jerome Mougel, Olivier Doare, Sebastien Michelin
The interactions and synchronization of two parallel and slender flags in a uniform axial flow are studied in the present paper by generalizing Lighthill's Elongated Body Theory (E…
Electro-hydrodynamic synchronization of piezoelectric flags
Yifan Xia, Olivier Doare, Sebastien Michelin
Hydrodynamic coupling of flexible flags in axial flows may profoundly influence their flapping dynamics, in particular driving their synchronization. This work investigates the eff…
Synchronized switch harvesting applied to piezoelectric flags
Miguel Pineirua, Sebastien Michelin, Dejan Vasic +1
In this article the energy transfer between a flow and a fluttering piezoelectric plate is investigated. In particular, the benefits of the use of a Synchronized Switch Harvesting…
Resonance-induced enhancement of the energy harvesting performance of piezoelectric flags
Yifan Xia, Sebastien Michelin, Olivier Doare
The spontaneous flapping of a flag can be used to produce electrical energy from a fluid flow when coupled to a generator. In this paper, the energy harvesting performance of a fla…
Fluid-solid-electric lock-in of energy-harvesting piezoelectric flags
Yifan Xia, Sebastien Michelin, Olivier Doare
The spontaneous flapping of a flag in a steady flow can be used to power an output circuit using piezoelectric elements positioned at its surface. Here, we study numerically the ef…
Energy harvesting efficiency of piezoelectric flags in axial flows
Sebastien Michelin, Olivier Doare
Self-sustained oscillations resulting from fluid-solid instabilities, such as the flutter of a flexible flag in axial flow, can be used to harvest energy if one is able to convert…
Piezoelectric coupling in energy-harvesting fluttering flexible plates : linear stability analysis and conversion efficiency
Olivier Doare, Sebastien Michelin
This paper investigates the energy harvested from the flutter of a plate in an axial flow by making use of piezoelectric materials. The equations for fully-coupled linear dynamics…
