Scaling Behavior of Pressure-Driven Micro-Hydraulic Systems

Tas N.R., Lammerink T.S.J., Berenschot J.W., Elwenspoek M.C., van den Berg A., University of TWente, NL

This paper presents a lumped network approach for the modelling and design of micro-hydraulic systems. A hydraulic oscillator has been built consisting of hydraulic resistors, capacitors and transistors (pressure controlled valves). The scaling of micro-hydraulic [...]

Modeling and Validation of Flow-Structure Interactions in Passive Micro Valves

Oosterbroek R.E., Schlautmann S., Berenschot J.W., Lammerink T.S.J., van den Berg A., Elwenspoek M.C., University of TWente, NL

This paper reports the modeling of the stationary flow-structure interaction of different types of micro check valves. Mathematical indirect, domain coupled and decoupled, finite element models as well as analytical approximations are made. The obtained [...]
