We develop a first-principle equation of state of salt-free polyelectrolyte solution in the limit of infinitely long flexible polymer chains in the framework of a field-theoretical formalism beyond the linear Debye-Hueckel theory and…

In this paper, we study the well-posedness of Poisson-Nernst-Planck system with no-flux boundary condition and singular permanent charges in two dimension. The main difficulty comes from the lack of integrability of singular permanent…

We construct a mean-field model that describes the nonlinear dynamics of a spin-polarized electron gas interacting with fixed, positively-charged ions possessing a magnetic moment that evolves in time. The mobile electrons are modeled by a…

We study the deformation and breakup of an axisymmetric electrolyte drop which is freely suspended in an infinite dielectric medium and subjected to an imposed electric field. The electric potential in the drop phase is assumed small, so…

The Poisson--Nernst--Planck (PNP) equations have been widely applied to describe ionic transport in ion channels, nanofluidic devices, and many electrochemical systems. Despite their wide applications, the PNP equations fail in predicting…

Mobile charge in an electrolytic solution can in principle be represented as the divergence of ionic polarization. After adding explicit solvent polarization a finite volume of electrolyte can then be treated as a composite non-uniform…

Mean-field electrostatics is used to calculate the bending moduli of an electric double layer for fixed surface charge density of a macroion in a symmetric 1:1 electrolyte. The resulting expressions for bending stiffness, Gaussian modulus,…

The general solution to the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation for two parallel charged plates, either inside a symmetric elecrolyte, or inside a 2q:-q asymmetric electrolyte, is found in terms of Weierstrass elliptic functions. From this…

We consider an ensemble of mass collisionless particles, which interact mutually either by an attraction of Newton's law of gravitation or by an electrostatic repulsion of Coulomb's law, under a background downward gravity in a…

Characterizing the local voltage distribution within nanophysiological domains, driven by ionic currents through membrane channels, is crucial for studying cellular activity in modern biophysics, yet it presents significant experimental and…

We consider the compressible Poisson-Nernst-Planck-Navier-Stokes (PNPNS) system of equations, governing the transport of charged particles under the influence of the self-consistent electrostatic potential, in a three-dimensional bounded…

I investigate stable equilibria of bodies in potential fields satisfying a generalized Poisson equation: divergence[m(grad phi) grad phi]= source density. This describes diverse systems such as nonlinear dielectrics, certain flow problems,…

In this article, we propose and analyze a fully coupled, nonlinear, and energy-stable virtual element method (VEM) for solving the coupled Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) and Navier--Stokes (NS) equations modeling microfluidic and…

In this work, we numerically study linear stability of multiple steady-state solutions to a type of steric Poisson--Nernst--Planck (PNP) equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions, which are applicable to ion channels. With numerically…

In this article we present a system of coupled non-linear PDEs modeling an anisotropic electrokinetic flow. We show the existence of suitable weak solutions in three spatial dimensions, that is weak solutions which fulfill an energy…

A variety of self-consistent (SC) equations have been proposed for non-uniform states of liquid particles under external fields, including adsorbed states at solid substrates and confined states in pores. External fields represent not only…

Linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry techniques are important tools for electrochemists and have a variety of applications in engineering. Voltammetry has classically been treated with the Randles-Sevcik equation, which assumes an…

We present a "fluid dynamics video" showing results from direct numerical simulations of electrokinetic transport in a binary electrolyte in two systems: (1) next to an ion-selective membrane and (2) around a metallic cylinder. The…

Nonequilibrium steady states of vibrated inelastic frictionless spheres are investigated in quasi-two-dimensional confinement via molecular dynamics simulations. The phase diagram in the density-amplitude plane exhibits a fluidlike…

The steady-state currents and densities of a one-dimensional totally asymmetric exclusion process (TASEP) with particles that occlude an integer number ($d$) of lattice sites are computed using various mean field approximations and Monte…
