Transport of electrolytic solutions under influence of electric fields occurs in phenomena ranging from biology to geophysics. Here, we present a continuum model for single-phase electrohydrodynamic flow, which can be derived from…
In this letter we analyze the effects of an externally applied electric field on thermal fluctuations for a fluid containing charged species. We show in particular that the fluctuating Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations for charged…
This work presents a finite element method for a modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck/Navier-Stokes (PNP/NS) model under the mechanical equilibrium, developed for compressible electrolytes. Another key contribution of this work is the reduction…
The description of electron-electron interactions in transport problems is both analytically and numerically difficult. Here we show that a much simpler description of electron transport in the presence of interactions can be achieved in…
The subject of this work is the instability mechanism of simple shear flows, like Hagen-Poiseuille pipe flow, which is a long-standing problem in fluid mechanics [1,2]. A possible analogy with phenomenological theory of ideal plasticity in…
We present a theoretical framework for unidirectional electromagnetohydrodynamic flow of dilute electrolytes under perpendicular magnetic fields. Starting from the Navier--Stokes equation coupled with the Poisson--Nernst--Planck…
In this paper, we are interested in the dynamics of charged particles interacting with the incompressible viscous flow. More precisely, we consider the Vlasov-Poisson or Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck equation coupled with the incompressible…
We theoretically explore the effect of a transverse electric field on the frictional response of a bi-layer of packed zwitterionic molecules. The dipole-moment reorientation promoted by the electric field can lead to either stick-slip or…
We consider a coupled system of Navier-Stokes and Nernst-Planck equations, describing the evolution of the velocity and the concentration fields of dissolved constituents in an electrolyte solution. Motivated by recent applications in the…
We consider the Poisson-Nernst-Planck system which is well-accepted for describing dilute electrolytes as well as transport of charged species in homogeneous environments. Here, we study these equations in porous media whose electric…
A scaling analysis is undertaken for the load balance in sliding friction in the hydrodynamic lubrication regime, with a particular emphasis on power-law shear-thinning typical of a structured liquid. It is argued that the shear-thinning…
Based on the energy gradient method, criteria for turbulent transition are proposed for pressure driven flow and shear driven flow, respectively. For pressure driven flow, the necessary and sufficient condition for turbulent transition is…
Injection of dilute polymer in a turbulent flow suppresses frictional drag. This challenging and technologically important problem remains primarily unresolved due to the complex nature of the flow. An important factor in the drag reduction…
At mesoscopic scales electrolyte solutions are modeled by the fluctuating generalized Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations [J.-P. P\'eraud et al., Phys. Rev. F, 1(7):074103, 2016]. However, at length and time scales larger than the Debye…
A new computational framework for the simulation of turbulent flow through complex objects and along irregular boundaries is presented. This is motivated by the application of metal foams in compact heat-transfer devices, or as catalyst…
Viscous flow of interacting electrons in two dimensional materials features a bunch of exotic effects. A model resembling the Navier-Stokes equation for classical fluids accounts for them in the so called hydrodynamic regime. We performed a…
A robust control scheme is derived and tested for the Navier-Stokes equations for two-dimensional multiphase flow of a thin film underneath an inclined solid surface. Control is exerted via the use of an electrode parallel to the substrate,…
We survey results of recent activity towards studying controllability and accessibility issues for equations of dynamics of incompressible fluids controlled by low-dimensional or, degenerate, forcing. New results concerning controllability…
A parallel plate capacitor containing an electrolytic solution is the simplest model of a supercapacitor, or electric double layer capacitor. Using both analytical and numerical techniques, we solve the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations for…
In situations involving large potentials or surface charges, the Poisson Boltzman(PB) equation has shortcomings because it neglects ion-ion interactions and steric effects. This has been widely recognized by the electrochemistry community,…
