Abstract In this paper, an efficient multigrid-DEIM semi-reduced-order model is developed to accelerate the simulation of unsteady single-phase compressible flow in porous media. The cornerstone of the proposed model is that the full approximate storage multigrid method is used to accelerate the solution of flow equation in original full-order space, and the discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) is applied to speed up the solution of Peng–Robinson equation of state in reduced-order subspace. The multigrid-DEIM semi-reduced-order model combines the computation both in full-order space and in reduced-order subspace, which not only preserves good prediction accuracy of full-order model, but also gains dramatic computational acceleration by multigrid and DEIM. Numerical performances including accuracy and acceleration of the proposed model are carefully evaluated by comparing with that of the standard semi-implicit method. In addition, the selection of interpolation points for constructing the low-dimensional subspace for solving the Peng–Robinson equation of state is demonstrated and carried out in detail. Comparison results indicate that the multigrid-DEIM semi-reduced-order model can speed up the simulation substantially at the same time preserve good computational accuracy with negligible errors. The general acceleration is up to 50–60 times faster than that of standard semi-implicit method in two-dimensional simulations, but the average relative errors of numerical results between these two methods only have the order of magnitude 10−4–10−6%.

This paper describes the theoretical analysis used to design of a multistage peristaltic vacuum micro pump, comprising of two parts. First, three different designs for a 16 stage micropump to achieve a vacuum of 250 torr are investigated. One design produces an equal pressure distribution across each stage at steady state. A second design has equal volume ratio across each stage. The third design is a combination of the other two. The transient behavior of these designs is analyzed using a reduced order model. In the first two designs when the pressure difference across the pump is low most pumping occurs across the first few stages, while for the third design the load is almost equally distributed across all stages. The opposite is observed when the pressure difference across the pump is high. In the second part of the paper, the reduced order model is further developed to account for the effects of electrostatic actuation and membrane dynamics. A non-linear model is proposed for the motion of the membrane and used to study the steady state performance and resonance of a multistage vacuum micro pump as a function of input voltage. It is found that near the acoustic frequency, a lower voltage is required to produce a greater flow.
