Example Simulation of a Piezoelectric Actuated Micro-Pump ( ansys 的帮助里面的例子) Problem Description The working principle of micro-pumps is the actuation of a flexible membrane to obtain the driving pressure for the fluid flow
Electro-thermal, electrostatic, or piezoelectric actuators are most commonly used for this purpose
The benchmark problem is taken from A
Klein and demonstrated in Figure 4
6: Piezoelectric Micropump Description
This device consists of a fluid chamber with a deformable membrane at the top
The membrane is actuated by a piezoelectric layer during pump operation
To estimate the fluid damping and inertial forces on the membrane, a simplified process of the membrane actuation is considered here
With the diaphragm in the neutral position and the chamber filled with
