Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We present a mathematical model of valveless pumping in a tube with two elastic chambers, which are motivated by the Liebau's two‐tank model. The tube consists of partially soft and partially (almost) rigid. We employ a two‐dimensional model using the immersed boundary method. In this new model, we have showed the important features of valveless pumping as the previous experiments and mathematical models have been discovered. For instance, we have observed that the direction and the amount of a net flow are sensitively dependent on the pumping frequency. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)</jats:p>
