Improving the energy harvesting performance of clamped flexible plates using vortex shedding behind bluff bodies: A computational study (2024)
Journal Article
Wang, X., Guo, X., Mei, Y., & Kadapa, C. (2024). Improving the energy harvesting performance of clamped flexible plates using vortex shedding behind bluff bodies: A computational study. Physics of Fluids, 36(9), Article 097148. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0223719

This study assesses flow-induced vibrations of clamped flexible plates with the objective of improving their energy harvesting performance. Towards this, a rectangular bluff body is placed between the two clamped flexible plates to harness the vortic...
