Electroosmotic flow of biorheological micropolar fluids through microfluidic channels
E-mail:
An analytical analysis is presented in this work to assess the influence of micropolar nature of fluids in fully
developed flow induced by electrokinetically driven peristaltic pumping through a parallel plate microchannel.
The walls of the channel are assumed as sinusoidal wavy to analyze the peristaltic flow nature. We
consider that the wavelength of the wall motion is much larger as compared to the channel width to validate
the lubrication theory. To simplify the Poisson Boltzmann equation, we also use the Debye-Huckel linearization.
We consider governing equation for micropolar fluid in absence of body force and couple effects
however external electric field is employed. The solutions for axial velocity, spin velocity, flow rate, pressure
rise, and stream functions subjected to given physical boundary conditions are computed. The effects
of pertinent parameters like Debye length and Helmholtz-Smoluchowski velocity which characterize the
EDL phenomenon and external electric field, coupling number and micropolar parameter which characterize
the micropolar fluid behavior, on peristaltic pumping are discussed through the illustrations. The
results show that peristaltic pumping may alter by applying external electric fields. This model can be used
to design and engineer the peristalsis-lab-on-chip and micro peristaltic syringe pumps for biomedical applications.
