Comprehensive experimental study on bluff body shapes for vortex-induced vibration piezoelectric energy harvesting mechanisms

Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is an appropriate mechanism to harvest energy from the low-speed wind energy by flexible piezoelectric flags as transducers. To enhance the low-speed wind energy harvesting, this work proposes a novel study on finding the best possible combination of bluff body shape a...
