In recent years, functional fluidic and gas electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pumps have received considerable attention due to their remarkable features, such as simple structure, quiet operation, and energy-efficient utilization. EHD pumps can be applied in various industrial applications, including flow transfer, thermal management, and actuator drive. In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature surrounding functional fluidic and gas EHD pumps regarding the following aspects: the initial observation of the EHD effect, mathematical modeling, and the choice of pump structure, electrode configuration, and working medium. Based on the review, we present a summary of the development and latest research on EHD pumps. This paper provides a critical analysis of the current limitations of EHD pumps and identifies potential areas for future research. Additionally, the potential application of artificial intelligence in the field of EHD pumps is discussed in the context of its cross-disciplinary nature. Many reviews on EHD pumps focus on rigid pumps, and the contribution of this review is to summarize and analyze soft EHD pumps that have received less attention, thus reducing the knowledge gap.
近年来，功能性流体和气体电液动力学（EHD）泵因其结构简单、运行安静和能源利用高效等显著特点而备受关注。EHD泵可应用于各种工业领域，包括流体输送、热管理和执行器驱动。在本文中，作者围绕功能性流体和气体EHD泵，从以下几个方面对相关文献进行了综述：EHD效应的最初观察、数学建模，以及泵结构、电极配置和工作介质的选择。基于该综述，我们总结了EHD泵的发展历程和最新研究成果。本文对EHD泵当前的局限性进行了批判性分析，并确定了未来研究的潜在领域。此外，鉴于其跨学科性质，还讨论了人工智能在EHD泵领域的潜在应用。许多关于EHD泵的综述都集中在刚性泵上，本综述的贡献在于总结和分析较少受到关注的柔性EHD泵，从而缩小知识差距。
