Electroosmotic flow in capillaries with random zeta potential results in plug flow. This study models sample concentration using an effective diffusivity, validated by numerical experiments.

Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Electrochemistry
  • Microfluidics

Background:

  • Electroosmotic flow (EOF) is crucial in microfluidic devices.
  • Random zeta potential variations complicate EOF modeling.
  • Understanding EOF is key for efficient sample transport.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To solve the hydrodynamic problem of EOF in a cylindrical capillary with random zeta potential.
  • To analyze the mean axial velocity and velocity variance.
  • To approximate average sample concentrations using an effective diffusivity coefficient.

Main Methods:

  • Solving the hydrodynamic problem in the limit of small Debye length and low Reynolds number.
  • Averaging over multiple experimental conditions.
  • Numerical simulations to validate theoretical models.

Main Results:

  • The mean axial velocity was found to be a plug flow.
  • Velocity variance showed a parabolic-like distribution across the capillary.
  • An effective diffusivity coefficient was defined to approximate average concentrations.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a theoretical framework for EOF in heterogeneous capillaries.
  • The developed model accurately predicts average sample concentrations.
  • Findings are supported by numerical experiments, confirming theoretical predictions.
