Alternating Current Electroosmotic Flow of Maxwell Fluid in a Parallel Plate Microchannel with Sinusoidal Roughness.

The EOF of a viscoelastic Maxwell fluid driven by an alternating pressure gradient and electric field in a parallel plate microchannel with sinusoidal roughness has been investigated within the Debye-Hückel approximation based on boundary perturbation expansion and separation of variables. Perturbation solutions were obtained for the potential distribution, the velocity and the mean velocity, and the relation between the mean velocity and the roughness. There are significant differences in the velocity amplitudes of the Newtonian and Maxwell fluids.

Thermal and Flow Analysis of Fully Developed Electroosmotic Flow in Parallel-Plate Micro- and Nanochannels with Surface Charge-Dependent Slip.

This study analytically investigates the coupled effects of surface charge and boundary slip on the fully developed electroosmotic flow and thermal transfer in parallel plate micro and nanochannels under the high zeta potential. The electric potential, velocity, temperature, flow rate, and Nusselt number are obtained analytically. The main results are that the velocity of bulk flow is significantly reduced in the presence of the surface charge-dependent slip.

Effects of surface charge and boundary slip on time-periodic pressure-driven flow and electrokinetic energy conversion in a nanotube.

Time-periodic pressure-driven slip flow and electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency in a nanotube are studied analytically. The slip length depends on the surface charge density. Electric potential, velocity and streaming electric field are obtained analytically under the Debye-Hückel approximation.

Electroosmotic flow through a microparallel channel with 3D wall roughness.

In this paper, a perturbation method is introduced to study the EOF in a microparallel channel with 3D wall roughness. The corrugations of the two walls are periodic sinusoidal waves of small amplitude in two directions either in phase or half-period out of phase. Based on linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation, Laplace equation, and the Navier-Stokes equations, the perturbation solutions of velocity, electrical potential, and volume flow rate are obtained.

Electromagnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) flow between two transversely wavy microparallel plates.

In this paper, 2D electromagnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) flow in a microparallel channel with slightly transverse corrugated walls is investigated using perturbation method. The corrugations of the two walls are presented by periodic sinusoidal waves with small amplitudes. The perturbation solutions of the stream function and a relation between flow rate and roughness are obtained.
