In this paper we develop a method of estimating the zeta potential distribution along the microchannel wall using velocity measurements of the electroosmotic flow. The relevant inverse problem is solved through the minimization of a performance function utilizing the conjugate gradient method. Employing a set of simulated velocity measurements, which is constructed by adding random noise to the computed exact velocity, the present method is found to estimate the distribution of the zeta potential along the channel wall with reasonable accuracy. |
