Numerical Study of Induced-charge Electroosmotic (ICEO)Flow Effects on Mixing Phenomena in a Porous Media, Using Lattice Boltzmann Method, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Taeibi Rahni, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Salimi, Mohammad Reza (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Rapid preparation of a homogeneous mixture is essential for many chemical and biological applications, such as micro-scale biological-chemical agent detection, drug delivery, and DNA hybridization. Some mixing systems have a micro-scale geometry, which results in a very slow mixing process, mainly due to laminar flow in these systems. Mixing in a slow flow is performed only by molecular diffusion. In the absence of any disturbances, increased mixing is not possible simply by diffusion. Accordingly, a suitable and innovative method to improve mixing for such systems is required. Induced charge electro-osmosis is a new field of electro-osmotic flow, which performs better than conventional...
