Theoretical model of electrode polarization and AC electroosmotic fluid flow in planar electrode arrays
Strong frequency-dependent fluid flow has been observed near the surface of microelectrode arrays. Modeling this phenomenon has proven to be difficult, with existing theories unable to account for the qualitative trend observed in the frequency spectra of this flow. Using recent electrode polarization results, a more comprehensive model of the double layer on the electrode surface is used to obtain good theoretical agreement with experimental data.
