Abstract

In this paper, we have numerically investigated two-dimensional dielectrophoretic (DEP) motions of a single particle suspended freely in a viscous fluid, interacting with a nearby nonconducting planar wall, under an externally applied uniform direct-current electric field. Particularly, we solve the Maxwell equation with a large sharp jump in the electric conductivity at the particle-fluid interface and then integrate the Maxwell stress tensor to compute the DEP force on the particle. Results show that, under an electric field parallel to the wall, one particle is always repelled to move far away from the wall and the motion depends strongly on the particle-wall spacing and the particle conductivity. The motion strength vanishes when the particle is as conductive as the fluid and increases as the conductivity deviates further from that of the fluid.

본 논문에서는 외부에서 균일한 직류전기장이 인가될 때 점성유체에 자유롭게 잠겨있는 단일 입자가 근처의 비전도성 평면 벽과의 상호작용 때문에 유발되는 2차원 유전영동 운동에 대하여 수치연구를 수행하였다. 특히 입자-유체 경계면에서 불연속적으로 급격히 변화하는 전기전도도를 가진 Maxwell 방정식을 해석하고 전기장을 구한 후 Maxwell 응력텐서를 적분하여 입자에 작용하는 유전영동 힘을 계산하였다. 해석 결과 전기장이 벽과 평행하게 인가될 때 입자는 항상 반발력이 유도되어 벽으로부터 멀어지는 방향으로 유전영동 운동이 발생하였으며, 그 운동특성은 입자와 벽 사이 간격과 입자의 전도도에 따라 크게 달라졌다. 운동 강도는 입자와 유체의 전도도가 서로 같으면 사라지나, 전도도가 서로 다르면 그 차이가 클수록 강도는 증가하였다.
