Numerical Modeling for the Hydrodynamic Behavior of a Charged Particle in an Electrophoretic Cell

In this paper, we propose a numerical modeling method that can calculate the hydrodynamic behavior of a micro-sized charged particle in an electrophoretic cell. In order to simulate the electrokinetic characteristics of a particle in a real cell, we applied the electrostatic body force of the particle to the total dynamic interaction force and calculated the electrophoretic mobility so that we could calculate the dynamic response of the particle in a viscous fluid. We compared the calculated result with the experimental result of a horizontal switching electrophoretic cell for verification. KCI Citation Count: 0
