Título: | Simulation of a perfectly dielectric drop in electro-osmotic flow of an electrolyte through a microchannel |
Autor(es): | Felisberto, Michelle Magalhães Barbosa Teixeira, Alvaro Vianna Novaes de Carvalho |
Abstract: | This research uses a computational fluid dynamic model to simulate motion and deformation of a dielectric drop in electrolyte solution in a microchannel. Different values of wall charge density, the Debye-Hückel parameter and the Weber number (We) were used for uncharged, positively and negatively charged drop interfaces. Drop flow and deformation were analysed and the effects of charge distribution, electric field and permittivity jump were discussed. For a positively charged channel wall, negatively charged drops moved faster and positively charged drops moved slower than an uncharged drop. This effect increased for a higher We. Vortex flows were observed inside the drop. For a low surface tension, the drops were elongated due to electric forces acting on its surface with the charged drops deforming more than the uncharged one. When the permittivity component of the force was removed, the drop had a horizontal deformation that was sufficiently high to cause the negatively charged drop to break up. |
