On the scale dependence of flow structures and transport in chaotic electroconvection
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Electroconvection (EC) is a hydrodynamic instability that occurs when dissolved ions are driven from a bulk fluid towards an ion-selective surface under a sufficiently large applied voltage. When the applied voltage exceeds a threshold, chaotic features arise from the coupling between ion-transport, fluid flow, and electrostatic forces near the ion-selective interface. This greatly enhances ion transport, impacting mass transfer and ion residence times and plays a significant role in a wide range of electrochemical applications. Simulating EC in regimes relevant to industrial applications is challenging; its wide range of spatiotemporal scales requires costly computations with extremely high resolutions. This dissertation considers aspects of electroconvection that would inform future modeling of these complex flows in the highly chaotic regime.
