Investigation of electrokinetic mixing in 3D non-homogenous microchannels
A numerical study of 3D electrokinetic flows through micromixers was performed. The micromixers considered here consisted of heterogeneous rectangular microchannels with prescribed patterns of zeta-potential at their walls. Numerical simulation of electroosmotic flows within heterogeneous channels requires solution of the Navier-Stokes, Ernest-Plank and species concentration equations. It is kn...
متن کاملMixing enhancement by utilizing electrokinetic instability in different Y-shaped microchannels
An experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of manipulating convective electrokinetic instability (EKI) waves to control/enhance fluid mixing inside three Y-shaped microchannels, which includes a conventional straight channel, a channel with micro-cavities, and a channel with microsteps. Epi-fluoresence imaging technique was used to conduct qualitative flow visualization and...
متن کاملLedinegg instability in microchannels
The static Ledinegg instability in horizontal microchannels under different flow conditions and fluids pertinent to electronics cooling was studied experimentally and numerically. Two fluids, water at sub-atmospheric pressures and refrigerant HFE-7100, were examined for a range of heat fluxes, mass fluxes, and channel hydraulic diameters. Numerical predictions from the developed pressure gradie...
متن کاملElectrokinetic Velocity Characterization of Microparticles in Glass Microchannels
Insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) is an efficient technique with great potential for miniaturization. It has been applied successfully for the manipulation and concentration of a wide array of particles, including bioparticles such as macromolecules and microorganisms. When iDEP is applied employing DC electric fields, other electrokinetic transport mechanisms are present: electrophoresi...
متن کاملModeling electrokinetic flows in microchannels using coupled lattice Boltzmann methods
We present a numerical framework to solve the dynamic model for electrokinetic flows in microchannels using coupled lattice Boltzmann methods. The governing equation for each transport process is solved by a lattice Boltzmann model and the entire process is simulated through an iteration procedure. After validation, the present method is used to study the applicability of the Poisson–Boltzmann ...
