In this work, we study the unsteady electro-osmotic flow of fractional viscoelastic fluids in micro-parallel channels, where the velocity slip effect on the walls is also considered. The analytical solution is obtained through solving the Cauchy momentum equation, together with the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation and the fractional Maxwell constitutive equation. The influences of the normalized electrokinetic width K, Deborah number De, slip length L and fractional derivative 𝛼 on the velocity and volume flow rate are discussed. The results demonstrate that the dimensionless parameters L, De and K all have a promoting effect on the electro-osmotic flow and resonance behavior of fractional Maxwell fluids. In addition, compared with the classical Maxwell fluid, the microstructure of the fractional Maxwell fluid weakens the resonance behavior.

In microfluidic electrokinetic flows, heterogeneous wall potentials are often required to fulfill some functions, such as increasing dispersion and mixing efficiency. In this paper, we study the pressure-driven electrokinetic flow through microannulus with heterogeneous wall potentials in circumferential direction. The streaming potential induced by the ions accumulating in downstream of the microannulus is considered and the electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency is further investigated. Interestingly, based on the method of Fourier expansion, the analytical solutions of fluid velocity, streaming potential and energy conversion efficiency are derived for arbitrary peripheral distribution of the small wall potential for the first time. Four specific patterned modes of the heterogeneous wall potential, i.e., constant, step, sinusoid with period 2π and sinusoid with period π/2 are represented. The distributions of the electric potential and the velocity for four different modes are depicted graphically. Furthermore, the variations of the streaming potential and the electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency with related parameters are also discussed. Results show that when these integral values from -π to π associated with the wall potentials are identical, the streaming potential and the electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency corresponding to different modes are the same. Additionally, the amplitude of fluid velocity peripherally reduces with the increase of the wavenumber of wall potential distribution in θ-direction.

In this paper, the effects of asymmetrically modulated charged surfaces on streaming potential, velocity field and flow rate are investigated under the axial pressure gradient and vertical magnetic field. In a parallel-plate microchannel, modulated charged potentials on the walls are depicted by the cosine function. The flow of incompressible Newtonian fluid is two-dimensional due to the modulated charged surfaces. Considering the Debye–Hückel approximation, the Poisson–Boltzmann (PB) equation and the modified Navier–Stokes (N-S) equation are established. The analytical solutions of the potential and velocities (u and v) are obtained by means of the superposition principle and stream function. The unknown streaming potential is determined by the condition that the net ionic current is zero. Finally, the influences of pertinent dimensionless parameters (modulated potential parameters, Hartmann number and slip length) on the flow field, streaming potential, velocity field and flow rate are discussed graphically. During the flow process and under the impact of the charge-modulated potentials, the velocity profiles present an oscillating characteristic, and vortexes are generated. The results show that the charge-modulated potentials are beneficial for the enhancement of the streaming potential, velocity and flow rate, which also facilitate the mixing of fluids. Meanwhile, the flow rate can be controlled through the use of a low-amplitude magnetic field.
