Electrophorèse d'une particule allongée sous l'action d'un champ électrostatique axisymétrique

Abstract

We consider a slender particle of straight centre-line (the line to which it collapses as its slenderness ratio ɛ vanishes) and of possibly non-uniform zeta potential. The body, not necessarily of circular cross-section, is embedded in a given electric field of revolution about the centre-line. Under those assumptions, this work asymptotically approximates, with respect to ɛ, the electrophoretic motion of the particle.
