The present study is carried out to investigate the influence of surface roughness in combined electro-osmotic and pressure-driven flow in microchannel. Two-dimensional theoretical model is developed to predict the behavior of velocity profiles in rough microchannel. The concept of surface roughness-viscosity model is used to account the effect of surface roughness. The pluglike velocity profile for electro-osmotic flow and the parabolic velocity profile for pressure-driven flow with delay in attaining the centerline velocity are observed. It is found that for electro-osmotic flow, the deviation in velocity profile from a flow in a smooth channel occurs near the wall, whereas in pressure-driven flow, such deviation is dominant in the core region. A superposition of pluglike and parabolic velocity profiles is found in combined electro-osmotic and pressure-driven flow. It is also observed that in the case of combined flow, the deviation in velocity profile from the smooth channel case reduces gradually with the distance from the wall.

AbstractOne of the unresolved issues in physiology is how exactly myosin moves in a filament as the smallest responsible organ for contracting of a natural muscle. In this research, inspired by nature, a model is presented consisting of DPD (dissipative particle dynamics) particles driven by electro-osmotic flow (EOF) in micro channel that a thin movable impermeable polymer membrane has been attached across channel width, thus momentum of fluid can directly transfer to myosin stem. At the first, by validation of electro-osmotic flow in micro channel in different conditions with accuracy of less than 10 percentage error compared to analytical results, the DPD results have been developed to displacement of an impermeable polymer membrane in EOF. It has been shown that by the presence of electric field of 250 V/m and Zeta potential − 25 mV and the dimensionless ratio of the channel width to the thickness of the electric double layer or kH = 8, about 15% displacement in 8 s time will be obtained compared to channel width. The influential parameters on the displacement of the polymer membrane from DPD particles in EOF such as changes in electric field, ion concentration, zeta potential effect, polymer material and the amount of membrane elasticity have been investigated which in each cases, the radius of gyration and auto correlation velocity of different polymer membrane cases have been compared together. This simulation method in addition of probably helping understand natural myosin displacement mechanism, can be extended to design the contraction of an artificial muscle tissue close to nature.

In this paper, we construct transient electro-osmotic flow of Burgers’ fluid with Caputo fractional derivative in a micro-channel, where the Poisson–Boltzmann equation described the potential electric field applied along the length of the microchannel. The analytical solution for the component of the velocity profile was obtained, first by applying the Laplace transform combined with the classical method of partial differential equations and, second by applying Laplace transform combined with the finite Fourier sine transform. The exact solution for the component of the temperature was obtained by applying Laplace transform and finite Fourier sine transform. Further, due to the complexity of the derived models of the governing equations for both velocity and temperature, the inverse Laplace transform was obtained with the aid of numerical inversion formula based on Stehfest's algorithms with the help of MATHCAD software. The graphical representations showing the effects of the time, retardation time, electro-kinetic width, and fractional parameters on the velocity of the fluid flow and the effects of time and fractional parameters on the temperature distribution in the micro-channel were presented and analyzed. The results show that the applied electric field, electro-osmotic force, electro-kinetic width, and relaxation time play a vital role on the velocity distribution in the micro-channel. The fractional parameters can be used to regulate both the velocity and temperature in the micro-channel. The study could be used in the design of various biomedical lab-on-chip devices, which could be useful for biomedical diagnosis and analysis.
