摘要: 电泳芯片作为典型的低雷诺数、低体积流速的微流体器件,电渗流作为非常重要的物理现象,其大小直接影响分离情况和分析结果的精密度和准确度。基于低雷诺数理论建立电泳芯片微管道内电渗流的数学模型,利用有限差分法进行求解。当德拜长度为5nm时,不同Zeta电势下下,微管道内电渗流的流动情况为塞状流,电渗流的最大速度随着Zeta电势的增加而线性增加;当Zeta电势为-100mV,不同德拜长度下,电渗势沿壁面的法线方向呈指数级衰减。在不同的德拜长度下,电渗流的速度分布几乎一样,且当德拜长度改变时,电渗流的最大速度不变。Abstract: As one of the typical microfluidic device,microchip electrophoresis is of the low Reynolds number,low volume flow-rate.Electro-osmosis is the very important physical phenomenon,and its magnitude of the numerical value will affect the precision and veracity of the separation and analysis result.Based on the theory of low Reynolds number,electro-osmosis mathematics model in the micro-channel of microchip electrophoresis is set up,and solved with finite difference method.While the Debye length is 5 nm,with different Zeta potential,the electro-osmosis flow in the micro-channel is plug-like.And the maximal velocity of the electro-osmosis flow rate increase linearly with the Zeta potential increases.While the Zeta potential is-100mV,the electro-osmosis potential in the normal direction decreases exponentially with different Debye length.The distribution of the electro-osmosis flow velocity is almost the same with different Debye length.And the maximal velocity of the electro-osmosis flow would not change when the Debye length changed.
