摘要

Electrokinetic instability (EKI) is a flow instability that occurs in electric field-mediated microfluidic applications. It can be harnessed to enhance sample mixing or particle trapping but has to be avoided in particle separation. Current studies on EKI have been focused primarily on the flow of Newtonian fluids. However, many of the chemical and biological solutions exhibit non-Newtonian characteristics. This work presents the first experimental study of the EKI in viscoelastic fluid flows with conductivity gradients through a T-shaped microchannel. We find that the addition of polyethylene oxide (PEO) polymer into Newtonian buffer solutions alters the threshold electric field for the onset of EKI. Moreover, the speed and temporal frequency of the instability waves are significantly different from those in the pure buffer solutions. We develop a three-dimensional preliminary numerical model in COMSOL, which considers the increased viscosity and conductivity as well as the suppressed electroosmotic flow of the buffer-based PEO solutions. The numerically predicted threshold electric field and wave parameters compare favorably with the experimental data except at the highest PEO concentration. We attribute this deviation to the neglect of fluid elasticity effect in the current model that increases with the PEO concentration. Published under license by AIP Publishing.
