Abstract
A peristaltic pump and methods are presented. At least one flexible tube is configured to alternately radially compress to constrict fluid passage and radially recover to allow fluid passage. A surface is configured to support the at least one flexible tube. A non-rotating compression plate is configured to: compress the at least one flexible tube by a virtual elliptical wave nutation, and control a flow of a fluid in the at least one flexible tube by compression of the flexible tube.
