Behavior of a viscoelastic valveless pump: a simple theory with experimental validation
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>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. W...
