Energy harvesting is the process by which light, thermal, solar, and kinetic energy can be
converted to a usable form of energy with the ultimate objective of develo** self-powered …

The flap** or bending of a flexible planar structure in a surrounding fluid flow, which
includes the flap** of flags and the self-streamlining of flexible bodies, constitutes a …

Ocean current energy harvester is a promising infrastructure to achieve self-powered marine
wireless sensing system. This study proposes and investigates an underwater flag-like …

In this experimental study, we propose and test a bioinspired piezo-leaf architecture which
converts wind energy into electrical energy by wind-induced fluttering motion. While …

An improved version of the immersed boundary (IB) method is developed for simulating
flexible filaments in a uniform flow. The proposed IB method is based on an efficient Navier …

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 …

We address the flutter instability of a flexible plate immersed in an axial flow. This instability
is similar to flag flutter and results from the competition between destabilizing pressure …

A numerical approach based on the Lattice Boltzmann and Immersed Boundary methods is
proposed to tackle the problem of the interaction of moving and/or deformable slender solids …

The influence of the bending rigidity of a flexible heaving wing on its propulsive performance
in a two-dimensional imposed parallel flow is investigated in the inviscid limit. Potential flow …

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 of the …
