Description:
Pumps are important to applications across a wide range of scales. Most of traditional
applications occur within a range where inertia is the dominating factor influencing
the pump performance, and hence many practical designs are based on mechanisms
that rely on this assumption. As one moves towards smaller devices, however, the
increasing effect of viscosity renders these traditional mechanisms ineffective. The
current work looks towards a bio-inspired system consisting of an array of oscillating
plates to contend with this challenge. The plates are placed within a channel, and the
pumping performance generated is examined for a small range of Reynolds numbers
intermediate between inertial and viscous regimes (0.1 < Re < 10).
