description The fixed-geometry valve micropump is a seemingly simple device in which the interaction between mechanical, electrical, and fluidic components produces a maximum output near resonance. This type of pump offers advantages such as scalability, durability, and ease of fabrication in a variety of materials. Our past work focused on the development of a linear dynamic model for pump design based on maximizing resonance, while little has been done to improve valve shape. Here we present a method for optimizing valve shape using two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics in conjunction with an optimization procedure. A Tesla-type valve was optimized using a set of six independent, non-dimensional geometric design variables. The result was a 25% higher ratio of reverse to forward flow resistance (diodicity) averaged over the Reynolds number range 0
