Based on the numerical simulation, the threeª²way diffuser/nozzle tube and traditional diffuser/nozzle tube was compared. The effects of the flow resistance property of the three way tube was analyzed by changing the structural parameters of the shunts, including the length L2, the angle φ, the cone angle θ2ª« and the width b2 of the shunts. Compared with the traditional tube, the results show that the λ which is the ratio of the reverse flow resistance coefficient to forward flow resistance coefficient as a function of Reynolds number, is higher under high Reynolds number. So the efficiency of the valveless piezoelectric can be increased. The optimum structural parameters of the threeª²way diffuser/nozzle tube differ greatly under different Reynolds number. The appropriate structural parameters should be chosen according to the actual working condition when designing.ª¤
