Performance Evaluation of a Vortex Induced Piezoelectric Energy Converter (VIPEC) with CFD Approach
A novel vortex induced piezoelectric energy converter (VIPEC) was present in this paper to harvest flow kinetic energy from the ambient environment through a piezoelectric beam. The converter consists of a circular cylinder, a pivoted beam attached to the tail of the cylinder and several piezoelectr...
