Mixing in a microfluidic device is a major challenge due to creeping flow, which is a significant roadblock for development of lab-on-a-chip device. In this study, an analytical model is presented to study the fluid flow behavior in a microfluidic mixer using time-periodic electro-osmotic flow. To facilitate mixing through microvortices, nonuniform surface charge condition is considered. A generalized analytical solution is obtained for the time-periodic electro-osmotic flow using a stream function technique. The electro-osmotic body force term is accounted as a slip boundary condition on the channel wall, which is a function of time and space. To demonstrate the applicability of the analytical model, two different surface conditions are considered: sinusoidal and step change in zeta potential along the channel surface. Depending on the zeta potential distribution, we obtained diverse flow patterns and vortices. The flow circulation and its structures depend on channel size, charge distribution, and the applied electric field frequency. Our results indicate that the sinusoidal zeta potential distribution provides elliptical shaped vortices, whereas the step change zeta potential provides rectangular shaped vortices. This analytical model is expected to aid in the effective micromixer design.

AbstractThe multi-phase flow of non-Newtonian through a divergent channel is studied in this article. Jeffrey fluid is considered as the base liquid and tiny gold particles for the two-phase suspension. Application of external electric field parallel to complicated capillary with net surface charge density causes the bulk motion of the bi-phase fluid. In addition to, electro-osmotic flow with heat transfer, the simultaneous effects of viscous dissipation and nonlinear thermal radiation have also been incorporated. Finally, cumbersome mathematical manipulation yields a closed-form solution to the nonlinear differential equations. Parametric study reveals that more thermal energy is contributed in response to Brinkman number which significantly assists gold particles to more heat attain high temperature, as the remedy for compressed or swollen capillaries/arteries.

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.
