heal.abstract	A numerical optimization methodology is applied to improve the design of a microchannel structure used in a valveless micropump. The flow simulation algorithm employs the control volume method for Cartesian grids, while advanced numerical techniques are implemented for automatic generation of unstructured, adaptively refined grids and for the representation of irregular boundaries. Several geometric properties of the microchannel are considered	en
