Abstract
Numerical Simulations were performed to see the effect of geometrical misalignment on the progression of a sample plug in electrokinetic flows. The effect of material mismatch along with combined material and geometrical mismatch has also been investigated. A sample plug with low diffusion coefficient was introduced after the flow was fully developed. The effect of material and geometrical mismatch on the cross-sectional average of the plug concentrations were evaluated from the point of view of an optical detector. Various degrees of geometrical mismatch ranging from 0% to 75% were introduced and its effect on sample plug was evaluated. Comparison has been made with pressure driven flows to quantify the effect of geometrical mismatch. Copyright © 2006 by ASME.
