The present invention relates to an undulating-membrane fluid circulator having an intake port (3), a pump housing (4) delimiting a propulsion chamber (5), a discharge port (6), and an undulating membrane (2) paired with a drive means permitting an undulating movement of the membrane (2) between the upstream (8) and downstream (9) edges thereof, the undulating membrane (2) being capable of moving a fluid towards the discharge port (6). According to the invention, the circulator further comprises at least one means (7) for guiding the fluid, said means being disposed in the fluid propulsion chamber (5) near one of the edges (8, 9) of the QI undulating membrane (2) and making it possible to channel the fluid flow in a direction substantially parallel to the displacement of the wave along the membrane (2).
An undulating-membrane fluid circulator comprising at least one intake port, a pump housing delimiting a propulsion chamber, at least one discharge port, and a deformable membrane paired with an actuator configured to generate an undulating movement of the deformable membrane between an upstream and a downstream edge thereof, the deformable membrane configured to move a fluid towards the discharge port, wherein the fluid circulator comprises a first fluid guide disposed in the fluid propulsion chamber near one of the upstream or downstream edges of the deformable membrane to channel the fluid flow in a direction substantially parallel to the displacement of a wave along the deformable membrane.
