Fluid-structure interaction analysis of a piezoelectric exible plate in a cavity lled with uid

This study presents a numerical analysis of uid-structure interaction, the structure of which is a exible piezoelectric material. Piezoelectric materials are widely used in aero-elasticity and turbomachinery elds for vibration, utter, and noise control. In this work, a FSI benchmark is revised to contain the piezoelectric materials. The in uence of piezoelectricity on the oscillation of the structure and uid ow is considered. For validation, two benchmark problems are solved and the results of the present code are compared with those of previous work. Current results show that the piezoelectric behavior of a plate signicantly in uences the oscillation of the plate and the uid ow properties.
