XXII ICTAM, 25–29 August 2008, Adelaide, Australia NUMERICAL STUDIES OF NONLINEAR KINETICS IN INDUCED-CHARGE ELECTRO-OSMOSIS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a numerical study of induced-charge electro-osmosis (ICEO) of electrolytes in microfluidic channels containing a fixed dielectric structure. ICEO is the nonlinear electro-osmotic slip that occurs in the electrolyte when an applied electric field acts on the ionic charge it induces around the polarizable surface of the dielectric structure. We also establish a method for optimizing the shape of the dielectric structure for any given objective function, e.g. the resulting pumping velocity achieved for asymmetric structures.

We demonstrate complex nonlinear pattern formation dynamics associated with standing wave vibrations induced along a piezoelectric substrate on which a small drop of colloidal suspension is placed. Interfacial colloidal islands which self-assemble due to surface acceleration and capillarity are subsequently erased once fluid streaming becomes significant at higher powers. Due to a peculiar inst...

With the advent of microscale and nanoscale devices, the Navier-slip boundary condition as a macroscale model of fluid behaviour at a solid wall has seen renewed interest. The penalty concept and variational formulation are extended here to treat partial slip and related boundary conditions in viscous flow simulation. An analysis of the penalty partial-slip formulation permits us to relate it t...

The relationship between largeand small-scale motions remains a poorly understood process in wall-bounded turbulence. Investigation performed by Hutchins and Marusic [3] in a high Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer has recently revealed a possible influence of large-scale log region motions on the small-scale near-wall cycle, akin to a pure amplitude modulation. For this study we build up...

The emerging field of topological fluid kinematics is concerned with design and analysis of effective fluid mixers based on the topology of the motion of stirring apparatus and other periodic flow structures. Knowing even a small amount of flow topology often permits very powerful diagnoses, such as proving existence of chaotic dynamics and a lower bound on mixing measures based on material str...

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements were performed in a wave tank under regular water waves propagating and breaking on a 1/15 sloping beach. To obtain more accurate measurements, the domain from the initiation of the breaking to the swash zone is splited in fourteen overlapping windows. The full field is reconstructed at each time step by gathering the fourteen synchronized PIV field...
