## Abstract Induced‐charge electrophoresis (ICEP) has mostly been analyzed for asymmetric particles in an infinite fluid, but channel walls in real systems further break symmetry and lead to dielectrophoresis (DEP) in local field gradients. Zhao and Bau (__Langmuir__ 2007, __23__, 4053) predicted t

✦ Synopsis
The refined theory of the electroviscous lift forces is presented for the case when the separation distance between the particle and the wall is larger than the double-layer thickness. The theory is based on the lubrication approximation for motion of a long cylinder near a solid wall in creeping flow. The approximate analytical formula for the lift force valid for Pe ≤ 1 is derived and compared with the results of numerical calculations performed for an arbitrary Peclet number. The resulting electrokinetic lift force exceeds by several orders of magnitude one predicted by the previously developed theories of the lift force. The results for the electroviscous drag force indicate that when the double layer is thin compared with the particle size, the electroviscous drag is only a small correction (at most 10%) to the hydrodynamic drag force acting on a neutral particle moving near the wall.
