3D Numerical Study of the Electrokinetic Motion of a Microparticle Adsorbed at a Horizontal Oil/Water Interface in an Infinite Domain.

ABSTRACT: This work builds a three-dimensional (3D) simulation model and studies the electrokinetic velocity of a microparticle adsorbed at a horizontal oil/water interface in an infinite domain. The effects of the interface zeta potentials, the electric field, the oil dynamic viscosity, and the contact angle between the particle and the oil/water interface are investigated in detail. The results show that in an infinite oil/water interface system, both the negatively charged mobile oil/water interface and the negatively charged particle adsorbed to it move toward the positive electrode of the DC electric field, and the particle velocity increases along with the contact angle, the electric field strength, and the absolute values of negative zeta potential of both the particle and the oil/water inter
