Behavior of a viscoelastic valveless pump: a simple theory with experimental validation
BACKGROUND: A valveless pump generates a unidirectional net flow of fluid around a closed loop of soft viscoelastic tubing that is rhythmically compressed at one point. The tubing must have at least two sections with two different stiffnesses. When a short segment of the tube is squeezed asymmetrica...
