Flow Rate Augmentation of Valveless Pumping via a Time-Dependent Stenosis: A Novel Device

A novel device of flow rate augmentation is proposed and experimentally examined in a horizontal valveless closed loop pump using a time-dependent stenosis (convergent–divergent channel) in contrast with the commonly used taper tubes of constant opening as flow rectifiers. The stenosis, being a part...
