AbstractThe transient electro-osmotic flow of generalized second-grade fluid with fractional derivative in a narrow capillary tube is examined. With the help of the integral transform method, analytical expressions are derived for the electric potential and transient velocity profile by solving the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation and the Navier-Stokes equation. It was shown that the distribution and establishment of the velocity consists of two parts, the steady part and the unsteady one. The effects of retardation time, fractional derivative parameter, and the Debye-Hückel parameter on the generation of flow are shown graphically.

This work investigates the transient slip flow of viscoelastic fluids in a slit micro-channel under the combined influences of electro-osmotic and pressure gradient forcings. We adopt the generalized second-grade fluid model with fractional derivative as the constitutive equation and the Navier linear slip model as the boundary conditions. The analytical solution for velocity distribution of the electro-osmotic flow is determined by employing the Debye–Hückel approximation and the integral transform methods. The corresponding expressions of classical Newtonian and second-grade fluids are obtained as the limiting cases of our general results. These solutions are presented as a sum of steady-state and transient parts. The combined effects of slip boundary conditions, fluid rheology, electro-osmotic, and pressure gradient forcings on the fluid velocity distribution are also discussed graphically in terms of the pertinent dimensionless parameters. By comparison with the two cases corresponding to the Newtonian fluid and the classical second-grade fluid, it is found that the fractional derivative parameter β has a significant effect on the fluid velocity distribution and the time when the fluid flow reaches the steady state. Additionally, the slip velocity at the wall increases in a noticeable manner the flow rate in an electro-osmotic flow.

This work aims to probe the slip flow of second-grade fluid. The impetus of the flow is taken to be the electro-osmosis and the pressure gradient. The flow is considered to be in a thin channel-like passage formed by two parallel plates. The potential difference existing between the surface of the solid and fluid is taken to be non-symmetric. The governing equations are formed for the second-grade fluid with the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative. The Laplace transform is used for transforming the problem into space parameters after introducing the dimensionless variables. Instead of developing an analytical expression for inverse Laplacian, the numerical Stehfest algorithm is used. A tabular comparison of the obtained results by two different methods (Stehfest and Tzou) is given and the conformity of the two ensures the validity of our obtained results. The results are also pictured in terms of graphs and carry the information of the slip flow effect. Furthermore, the effect of the fractional parameter on velocity has also been tabulated using different values of fractional parameter.

AbstractElectro-osmotic flow of a physiological fluid with prominent micropolar characteristics, flowing over a microchannel has been analyzed for a situation, where the system is subject to the action of an external AC electric field. In order to account for the rotation of the micro-particles suspended in the physiological fluid, the fluid has been treated as a micropolar fluid. The microchannel is considered to be bounded by two porous plates executing oscillatory motion. Such motion of the plates will normally induce oscillatory flow of the fluid. The governing equations of the fluid include a second-order partial differential equation depicting Gauss’s law of electrical charge distributions and two other partial differential equations of second order that arise out of the laws of conservation of linear and angular momenta. These equations have been solved under the sole influence of electrokinetic forces, by using appropriate boundary conditions. This enabled us to determine explicit analytical expressions for the electro-osmotic velocity of the fluid and the microrotation of the suspended micro-particles. These expressions have been used to obtain numerical estimates of important physical variables associated with the oscillatory electro-osmotic flow of a blood sample inside a micro-bio-fluidic device. The numerical results presented in graphical form clearly indicate that the formation of an electrical double layer near the vicinity of the wall causes linear momentum to reduce. In contrast, the angular momentum increases with the enhancement of microrotation of the suspended microparticles. The study will find important applications in the validation of results of further experimental and numerical models pertaining to flow in micro-bio-fluidic devices. It will also be useful in the improvement of the design and construction of various micro-bio-fluidic devices.

AbstractOne of the unresolved issues in physiology is how exactly myosin moves in a filament as the smallest responsible organ for contracting of a natural muscle. In this research, inspired by nature, a model is presented consisting of DPD (dissipative particle dynamics) particles driven by electro-osmotic flow (EOF) in micro channel that a thin movable impermeable polymer membrane has been attached across channel width, thus momentum of fluid can directly transfer to myosin stem. At the first, by validation of electro-osmotic flow in micro channel in different conditions with accuracy of less than 10 percentage error compared to analytical results, the DPD results have been developed to displacement of an impermeable polymer membrane in EOF. It has been shown that by the presence of electric field of 250 V/m and Zeta potential − 25 mV and the dimensionless ratio of the channel width to the thickness of the electric double layer or kH = 8, about 15% displacement in 8 s time will be obtained compared to channel width. The influential parameters on the displacement of the polymer membrane from DPD particles in EOF such as changes in electric field, ion concentration, zeta potential effect, polymer material and the amount of membrane elasticity have been investigated which in each cases, the radius of gyration and auto correlation velocity of different polymer membrane cases have been compared together. This simulation method in addition of probably helping understand natural myosin displacement mechanism, can be extended to design the contraction of an artificial muscle tissue close to nature.

In this paper, we construct transient electro-osmotic flow of Burgers’ fluid with Caputo fractional derivative in a micro-channel, where the Poisson–Boltzmann equation described the potential electric field applied along the length of the microchannel. The analytical solution for the component of the velocity profile was obtained, first by applying the Laplace transform combined with the classical method of partial differential equations and, second by applying Laplace transform combined with the finite Fourier sine transform. The exact solution for the component of the temperature was obtained by applying Laplace transform and finite Fourier sine transform. Further, due to the complexity of the derived models of the governing equations for both velocity and temperature, the inverse Laplace transform was obtained with the aid of numerical inversion formula based on Stehfest's algorithms with the help of MATHCAD software. The graphical representations showing the effects of the time, retardation time, electro-kinetic width, and fractional parameters on the velocity of the fluid flow and the effects of time and fractional parameters on the temperature distribution in the micro-channel were presented and analyzed. The results show that the applied electric field, electro-osmotic force, electro-kinetic width, and relaxation time play a vital role on the velocity distribution in the micro-channel. The fractional parameters can be used to regulate both the velocity and temperature in the micro-channel. The study could be used in the design of various biomedical lab-on-chip devices, which could be useful for biomedical diagnosis and analysis.

Abstract In this article, a new explicit group iterative scheme is developed for the solution of two-dimensional fractional Rayleigh–Stokes problem for a heated generalized second-grade fluid. The proposed scheme is based on the high-order compact Crank–Nicolson finite difference method. The resulting scheme consists of three-level finite difference approximations. The stability and convergence of the proposed method are studied using the matrix energy method. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to show the accuracy of the proposed method.
