Electrokinetic Particle Transport in Micro-/Nanofluidics: Direct Numerical Simulation Analysis (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781439854389)

This book provides a fundamental understanding of the electrokinetic particle transport in micro-/nanofluidics, involving electrophoresis, dielectrophoresis, electroosmosis, and induced-charge electroosmosis. It emphasizes the direct numerical simulation of electrokinetic particle transport phenomena, plus several supportive experimental studies. The authors use COMSOL Multiphysics^(R) to conduct all the numerical simulations presented and include the corresponding script files in the book. The book is suitable as a resource for researchers in micro-/nanofluidics and as a supplementary textbook for courses in electrokinetic transport phenomena in micro-/nanofluidics.
