Design and Simulations of a Microfluidic Pump with Multiple Vibrating Membranes

Koombua K., Pidaparti R.M., Longest P.W., Atkinson G.M., Virginia Commonwealth University, US

A novel design of a micropump with multiple vibrating membranes has been developed in this study. The micropump consists of three nozzle/diffuser elements with vibrating membranes, which are used to create pressure difference in the [...]

Simulation and Optimization of Tesla Valves

Truong T-Q, Nguyen N-T., Nanyang Technological University, SG

Tesla valve is a no-moving-parts valve. It has many advantages over conventional checkvalves in microscale. However, there has been very few literatures discussing its optimization. Systematic construction of the valve’s geometry has not been reported. [...]
