Two-Dimensional Pulsatile Electro-Magneto-Hydrodynamic Flow in a Micropipe with Electroosmotic Effects
摘要
In this article, we perform a semi-analytical investigation of two-dimensional transient analysis of combined electroosmotic and electro-magneto-hydrodynamic flow of a Newtonian electrolytic fluid through a circular micropipe. The fluid is exposed to pulsatile electric fields in the azimuthal direction, and an axial electric field consisting of both steady and pulsatile component. Additionally, a constant magnetic field in the radial direction has also been applied. By considering the collective influence of all the participating forces, we present a comprehensive mathematical model to capture the flow dynamics under the assumption of Debye–Huckel approximation of thin electric double layer (EDL) for low surface zeta potential. In this study, we particularly underscore the consequence of the applied magnetic field and the transient axial electric field strength on the flow behavior. Interestingly, we observe that for some combination of the participating forces at one time, enhancing the strengths of (electric and magnetic) fields augments the flow, whereas, at another time, increasing the field strengths attenuates the flow. This examination is predicted to advance our knowledge of flow behavior under the influence of these forces, and yield valuable perspectives on flow enhancement and regulation.
