1. A system, comprising:
a plurality of cooling cells including a plurality of cooling elements configured to be actuated to induce vibrational motion to drive a fluid toward a heat-generating structure; and
a switching and control module coupled to the plurality of cooling elements and providing a drive signal to the plurality of cooling elements based on at least one drive signal input, the drive signal having a frequency corresponding to at least one cooling element of the plurality of cooling elements, the frequency corresponding to a resonant state of the at least one cooling element.
