Air Flow Conditions for Polymer Energy Harvesting

Article Preview

Abstract:

We present the results on the Karman vortex creations on the two circular cylinders. Changing the inlet velocity we examine static and dynamic pressure distributions. In such a configuration,a polymer piezoelectric foil, which could be placed inside turbulent boundary layers, can work as anenergy harvester. By matching the fluid flows predominant frequency with the natural frequency ofthe piezoelectric generator would maximize the piezoelectric power output.
