Abstract: | The transient aspects of electroosmotic flow in a slit microchannel are studied. Exact solutions for the electrical potential profile and the transient electroosmotic flow field are obtained by solving the complete Poisson-Boltzmann equation and the Navier-Stokes equation under an analytical approximation for the hyperbolic sine function. The characteristics of the transient electroosmotic flow are discussed under influences of the electric double layer and the geometric size of the microchannel. |
