%T A new structure of Tesla coupled nozzle in synthetic jet micro-pump
%X Synthetic jet pump is a potential technique to improve the pumping performance by introducing a smart structure which can enhance counter-rotating vortexes. Aligning with this approach, a new structure of valveless micro-pump is developed in this work. The mechanism of the present micro-pump is based on the combination of the nozzle and a tesla element to rectify the synthetic jet. The new structure of “ace of spades” nozzle, named Tesla coupled nozzle, creates series of vortexes at the orifice of the pump chamber that allows to attenuate the reversed flows while fluid is drawn through the pump. The present
micro-pump is simple but robust and can perform at rather low voltages.
