Abstract

본 논문에서는 유한요소법을 기반으로 한 소프트웨어 COMSOL Multiphysics를 이용하여 압전 복합재료 작동기를 이용하여 제작한 무밸브 마이크로펌프의 성능을 연구하였다. 압전 마이크로펌프는 4층의 경량 압전 복합재료 작동기, PDMS으로 된 챔버와 2개의 디퓨저로 이루어졌다. 시뮬레이션에서는 압전 재료 영역, 구조 영역과 유체 영역을 완전 연성하여 해를 계산하였다. 물을 유체로 사용하였으며, 유량을 마이크로펌프의 구조적 파라미터에 대하여 계산하였다. 이 연구에 기초하여 보다 성능이 좋은 마이크로펌프를 제시하였다. In this paper, the pumping performance of a piezoelectric valveless micropump is simulated with a commercial finite element analysis software, COMSOL Multiphysics. The micropump developed in the previous work is composed of a 4-layer lightweight piezo-composite actuator (LIPCA), a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) pump chamber, and two diffusers. The piezoelectric domain, structural domain and fluid domain are coupled in the simulation. Water flow rates are numerically predicted for geometric parameters of the micropump. Based on this study, the micropump is optimally designed to obtain its highest pumping performance.
