✦ Synopsis
No rigorous theory of electrokinetic phenomena is conceivable without properly accounting for double layer polarization under the action of external fields. Since processes leading to such polarization need a finite time to develop, an analysis of the behavior of the quantities of interest (potential and ion concentration profiles, particle or fluid velocity, and so on) as a function of time should be extremely illustrative. In this work, we analyze how those quantities evolve in the nanosecond to microsecond time range after the application of an electric field. The network method is proposed (in which, essentially, an electric circuit simulator program is used to solve the differential equations involved, after their proper interpretation in terms of fluxes and forces) to gain information about the evolution with time of the potential, counterion, and co-ion perturbations, the particle velocity, and the fluid velocity profile. The performance of the method is first ckecked in the frequency domain, for which rigorous solutions exist, and then the procedure is used in the time domain. Reasons are discussed for the observed time dependencies of the analyzed quantities. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
