Abstract
A method for generating a flow of fluid, implemented in a device including a membrane (2) provided with at least one hole (20) and elements (4) generating back-and-forth movements, wherein a flow is generated through the membrane by actuating the membrane, at least in the region of the at least one hole (20), according to a mode of deformation of the at least one hole, causing the at least one hole to open and close and disturbing the fluid in order to generate the flow. The device suitable for implementing the method is also described.
