Technologies to harvest electrical energy from wind have vast potentials because wind is
one of the cleanest and most sustainable energy sources that nature provides. Here we …

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 the solid …

Hybrid power generators will improve the extraction of electrical energy from the wind to
develop sustainable and eco-friendly self-powered wireless sensors. A novel piezo …

We present a numerical study on the self-induced flap** dynamics of an inverted flexible
foil in a uniform flow. A high-order coupled fluid–structure solver based on fully coupled …

The flow-induced snap-through dynamics of a buckled flexible filament was explored using
the penalty immersed boundary method. The effects of the filament length, bending rigidity …

Flexibility of marine animal fins has been thought to enhance swimming performance.
However, despite numerous experimental and numerical studies on flap** flexible foils …

This paper presents a new airflow energy harvester exploiting fluttering effects coupled to an
