...Moran Wang The structure effects on electro-osmosis in microporous media have been studied by modeling the multiphysical transport using our numerical framework. The three-dimensional microstructures of porous media are reproduced by a random generation-growth method, and then the nonlinear...

... field E x is imposed along the streamwise direction to induce the fluid motion due to electro-osmosis. Because the EOF and EDL have been discussed in depth in the literature, here we only review the essential governing equations and controlling parameters for the basic understanding...

.... Electro-osmosis (first discovered by Reuss in 1809 from an experimental study on porous clay diaphragms) refers to liquid flow induced by an applied external electric field along electrostatically charged surfaces, and therefore the electro-osmotic flow (EOF) is quite different from the traditional...
