Abstract Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) gas pumps have received considerable attention in recent years for their salient features which include simple configuration, quiet operation, and efficient use of energy. EHD gas pumps can be used in a variety of applications from simple flow delivery, thermal management, drying enhancement, to plasma medicine. Since each application has its own requirements, different emphases have been placed on the design of electrodes for that particular application. In this paper, recent development on EHD gas pumps is reviewed on three specific fronts: flow delivery/sustainability, flow acceleration, and flow stability. Discussion includes new electrode configurations proposed, single-/multiple-stages systems developed, as well as criteria suggested for the evaluation of their performance. Based on the review, conclusions which have important implications for the practical use of EHD gas pump can be drawn.

EHD 气体泵 - 对近期发展的简要回顾

摘要 近年来，电流体动力 (EHD) 气泵因其结构简单、运行安静和能源利用效率高等突出特点而受到广泛关注。EHD 气泵可用于各种应用，从简单的流量输送、热管理、干燥增强到等离子医学。由于每种应用都有自己的要求，因此针对该特定应用的电极设计各有侧重。在本文中，EHD 气泵的最新发展在三个具体方面进行了回顾：流量输送/可持续性、流量加速和流量稳定性。讨论包括提出的新电极配置、开发的单级/多级系统，以及为评估其性能而建议的标准。根据审查，
