Abstract
A numerical solution for an electrohydrodynamic pump based on the electrostriction phenomenon has been developed. Specifically, the performance of a single pair electrostriction pump has been analyzed at various levels of applied voltage. The results indicate that the pressure head generated by the electrostriction pump increases exponentially with the applied voltage
