contents The concept of geometry works as an overarching framework underlying a wide range of transport phenomena. Particularly, the geometric phase effect in classical and quantum heat pump has been attracting much attention in microscopic systems. Here, we formulate theoretically the geometric heat pump effect in macroscopic driven diffusive systems. Upon modulation protocols, the nontrivial geometric curvature in the parameter space universally induces an additional pumped heat, beyond the constraint of hot-to-cold flowing. Furthermore, we set up a minimum experiment and indeed observe a non-vanishing directional heat flow across the driven system, despite keeping zero thermal bias between two time-dependent thermal reservoirs at every instant. We verify that in analogy to the geometric phase effect, the geometric pumped heat during each driving cycle is independent of driving periods in the adiabatic limit and coincides with theoretical predictions, thus validating its geometric origin. These results about geometric heat pump effect could have potential implications for designing and implementing nonreciprocal and topological thermal meta-devices under spatiotemporal modulations.
