In this paper, we obtain the velocity field in a wedge in a Three Phase Contact Line (TPCL) in an electrolyte drop which is evaporating on a charged solid. Combination of an electrolyte solution and the charged surface leads to the formation of an Electric Double Layer (EDL), which in presence of the evaporation-triggered pressure-driven transport, leads to the generation of a streaming current that causes an electrokinetic transport. Hence, we analyze for the first time an electrokinetic transport in a charged wedge in presence of an evaporation-induced advective flux. Our results exhibit flow patterns that are distinctly different as compared to that of the case where there is no such electrokinetic transport and the problem is merely that of evaporation in a wedge.

Aiming at the doubt and divarication about the internal mechanism of electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) in digital microfluidics, the authors attempted to explain the internal mechanism of EWOD through electro-dynamic-based numerical simulation model. First, the boundary conditions for the governing equation were found. Then the influence of mesh number on simulation results was analyzed and feasibility of the simulation model was verified by comparing numerical results with theoretical ratiocination. Finally, they compared the electro-dynamic actuation force acting on the surface of droplet on three digital microfluidic structures, which have the same three-phase contact line but different area of contact domain. Analytical results showed that electro-dynamic force generated solely by the accumulation of induced charges in contact domain was three times larger than that generated by three-phase contact line. Induced charges accumulated on both three-phase contact line and contact area of droplet gave the contribution to EWOD, but contact area played a major role in the change of contact angle of droplet.
