Electrokinetic Particle Transport in Micro-/Nanofluidics

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