Abstract

Apparatus and associated methods relate to control of flow of a fluid within a fluid conductor (14) having fluid-impenetrable walls (16) surrounding a lumen (18). The fluid impenetrable walls (16) have a rigid portion (22), a thermally-deformable portion (24), and a thermal heater and/or cooler (26) thermally coupled to the thermally-deformable portion (24). The thermally-deformable portion (24) has a geometrical form that changes in response to changes in temperature of the thermally deformable portion (24). A flow controller (12) receives a signal indicative of a desired flow rate and controls the thermal heater so as to cause the thermally-deformable portion (24) to deform thereby controlling the fluid flow to the desired flow rate.
