Optimal Design and Operation of an Ultrasonic Driving System for Algae Removal Considering Underwater Environment Load by Changdae Joo, Taekue Kim

“…These piezoelectric transducers, which operate in underwater environments, exhibit variations in electrical–mechanical impedance due to practical environmental factors, such as waterproof molding structures or variations in pressure and flow rates depending on the water depth. To address these challenges, we modeled the underwater load conditions using the finite element method and analyzed the impedance characteristics of the piezoelectric transducer under realistic environmental conditions. …”
