Abstract

In this article, numerical research on the fluid-structure interaction between the flexible piezoelectric energy harvester (FPEH) and the Von Karman vortex street forming behind a bluff body is carried out to optimize the oscillation of FPEH to obtain more electrical energy. Using ANSYS Workbench platform, the simulation is performed. The numerical results show that the maximal deformation of the PEH is 1.7428 mm, meanwhile the maximal voltage is 4.6144 V. Besides, these numerical results generated by the ANSYS simulation are in good agreement with the experimental results.
