Effect of the skimming layer on electro-osmotic - Poiseuille flows of viscoelastic fluids

An analytical solution is derived for the microchannelflow of viscoelastic fluids by combined electroosmosisand pressure gradient forcing. The viscoelasticfluid is described by the Phan-ThienTanner model withdue account for the near-wall layer depleted of macromolecules.This skimming layer is wider...
