- Abstract
- Over the past few years, the experimental and computational analysis of Ion concentration polarization (ICP) phenomenon has been researched in the nanofluidic device. However the ICP has not been fully defined due to problems of analysis inside the nanochannel including external potential, surface potential for EDL (Electric double layer), ions transport with osmotic flow by external and surface potential of nanofluidic device. These problems of analysis are making difficult to analyze the ICP of nanofluidic device. Hence, we propose the computational simulation of nanochannel using COMSOL Mulitphysics for ICP phenomenon with each effects inside the nanochannel. We analyzed the electric field with boundary conditions of surface potential, surface charge density, and EDL model which is derived from Gouy-Chapman model. Also, each elctroosmotic flows by three electric field are generated respectively. Finally, Ions transports in the nanochannel by each electric field and osmotic flow are analyzed compared to each other computational simulations. As a result, we confirmed that three different electric fields make different osmotic flows and ions transports respectively. This result is meaningful for analysis of ICP phenomenon by electric field composed of EDL model which is from Gouy-Chapman, recent model at surface of nanochannel. ⓒ 2014 DGIST
