With modified Reynolds equation for electric doublelayer, the effect of zeta-potential on the film thickness and pressure is numerically calculated. Theresults show that the influence of electric double layer on the lubrication film thickness is significantonly for thin film. The minimum film thickness will increase greatly if the influence of EDL is con-sidered. As the initial film thickness increases, the effect will greatly decrease. The existence ofEDL will decrease the friction coefficient of the lubrication film. Furthermore, the above tendency isstill applicable even if the materials of the friction pair are different.展开更多

The electric double layers and electroosmosis are important flow-electricity interaction phenomena. This paper presents a thickness-averaged model to solve three-dimensional complex electroosmotic flows in a wide-shallow microchan- nel/chamber combined （MCC） chip based on the Navier-Stokes equations for the flow field and the Poisson equation to the electric field. Behaviors of the electroosmotic flow, the electric field, and the pressure are analyzed. The quantitative effects of the wall charge density （or the zeta potential） and the applied electric field on the electroosmotic flow rate are investigated. The two-dimensional thickness-averaged flow model greatly simplifies the three-dimensional computation of the complex electroosmotic flows, and correctly reflects the electrookinetic effects of the wall charge on the flow. The numerical results indicate that the electroosmotic flow rate of the thickness-averaged model agrees well with that of the three-dimensional slip-boundary flow model. The flow streamlines and pressure distribution of these two models are in qualitative agreement.展开更多

文摘The microfiuidic system is a multi-physics interaction field that has at- tracted great attention.
