Piezo electric energy harvestor

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear Sir:

I am new to comsol. I want to get deflection on a top surface of a cylinder enclosing air, when the base of the cylinder is heated. I want to use a piezo electric device eventually to get voltage measurement due to deflection.

So far I am using heat transfer in solids (base of cylinder), fluids (air inside cylinder), fluids-structure interaction (between walls and air) and piezoelectric devices modules (top face of cylinder). All walls except for the top are fixed and no expansion in the walls but heat transfer is needed.

What would be the right way of doing it?

I would appreciate your help.

Thank You.
