• An approach for the design of microfluidic viscoelastic rectifiers is presented based on a combination of a viscoelastic model and the method of topology optimization. This presumption free approach yields a material layout topologically different from experimentally realized rectifiers, and simulations indicate superior performance for the optimized design in the regime of moderate elasticity.
