A new lattice Boltzmann algorithm simulates electro-osmotic flows (EOF) with Joule heating effects. This method accurately models thin electrical double layers and highlights Joule heating

Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Computational physics
  • Electrokinetics

Background:

  • Electro-osmotic flows (EOF) are crucial in microfluidic devices.
  • Accurate simulation of EOF, especially with thermal effects like Joule heating, is challenging.
  • Existing methods struggle with the thin electrical double layer characteristic of EOF.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel finite-difference-based lattice Boltzmann (LB) algorithm for simulating EOF.
  • To incorporate the effects of Joule heating into the LB simulation of EOF.
  • To validate the proposed LB algorithm and apply it to a mixed flow scenario.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a finite-difference-based lattice Boltzmann algorithm.
  • Adaptation of the algorithm for nonuniform mesh capabilities.

  • Validation against an analytical solution for EOF.
  • Application to simulate mixed electro-osmotic and pressure-driven flow.

    • Main Results:

    • The LB algorithm accurately simulates EOF, showing good agreement with analytical solutions.
    • The algorithm successfully handles the thin electrical double layer in EOF.
    • Simulations demonstrate that Joule heating significantly influences EOF.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed LB algorithm is a robust tool for simulating EOF with Joule heating.
    • The ability to use nonuniform meshes enhances the simulation of complex EOF phenomena.
    • Joule heating is a critical factor that must be considered in EOF modeling.
