In this study an optimization procedure for the design of a piezo-electric Micro-Harvester device is proposed. The device is simulated to analyze the interaction of the fluid with a deformable piezo-electric cantilever. A fixed D-shaped bluff body is used to generate flow deviation, resulting in a mechanical deformation on the micro-cantilever. A novel geometric parameterization is proposed to find...
A numerical investigation of 3D fluid flow and heat transfer in a rectangular micro-channel has been carried out using water as a cooling fluid in a silicon substrate. Navier-Stokes and energy equations for laminar flow and conjugate heat transfer are solved using a finite volume solver. Solutions are first carefully validated with available analytical and experimental results; the shape of the micro-channel...
