An electrostatic micropump is investigated by means of computational techniques. Results are obtained stepwise, by gradually introducing in the model the different physics involved. Electro-mechanical static simulations are performed to evaluate the occurrence of membrane movement and pull-in phenomena. Then, a fully-coupled electrostatic-fluidstructure dynamic model is proposed, with the aim of appreciate the device performances in a multi-physic framework.

Abstract
An electrostatic micropump is investigated by means of computational techniques. Results are obtained stepwise, by gradually introducing in the model the different physics involved. Electro-mechanical static simulations are performed to evaluate the occurrence of membrane movement and pull-in phenomena. Then, a fully-coupled electrostatic-fluidstructure dynamic model is proposed, with the aim of appreciate the device performances in a multi-physic framework. Device fabrication guidelines are also presented.File in questo prodotto:
