Abstract
This work focuses on applying the phenomenon of ion concentration polarization to design and investigate a micropump model that is a kind of electroosmotic micropump. Numerical study is conducted for ion concentration polarization in the manner that generates electro-osmosis flow and pumping effect. The formation of the extended space charge layer and the actions of the electric field upon this layer is applied to generate electro-osmosis flow to drive flow in the system. It is clarified that pumping effect can be enhanced by improving the geometry configurations. Multiple simulations are conducted to obtain an optimal micropump design.
