Abstract
The main objective of the present project is the experimental and numerical investigation of the aeroelastic energy harvesting from the fluctuations caused by the current passing through a flexible piezoelectric composite beam installed vertically on the floor as a base for a rigid cylinder with square, circular and mixed cross-sections as a simple configuration of Turbines without blades. In this experiment, by using a blower system, the flow passing over the bladeless wind turbine was changed and as a result of its fluctuations, the resulting kinetic energy was absorbed by the piezoelectric piece attached to the root of the elastic beam. According to the results, the maximum power extracted without dimension for cross-section 1 at speeds of about 3.4 m/s was about 1.8 and 50 times that of cross-section 3 and cross-section 5. Also, at this speed, the area under the power graph taken in terms of time for cross-section 1 was about 6 times that of cross-section 3. In this regard, in cross section 1, with an increase in speed from 2.8m/s to 3.4m/s, it can be seen that the dimensionless energy harvesting has grown by about 3.5 times, which means an increase in the working efficiency of the system at higher speeds.
