AB The Liebau effect is a phenomenon capable of generating a net flow without the need for valves. The mechanisms of the Liebau effect, impedance pumping and asymmetric pumping, involve a complex fluid-mechanical problem with many variables that influence the direction and amplitude of flow. However, Liebau effect pumps are devices with characteristics suitable for many applications, including the pumping of biofluids. Moreover, these pumps are easier to build. The research carried out during this doctoral thesis focuses on the study of the Liebau effect and its potential application in extracorporeal blood circulation assist devices. Much of the work focuses on the analysis of asymmetric pumping, which is the least studied mechanism of the Liebau effect. A deeper understanding of the Liebau effect will facilitate the design of such pumps.
