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

An analytical solution is derived for the micro-channel flow of viscoelastic fluids by combined electro-osmosis and pressure gradient forcing. The viscoelastic fluid is described by the Phan-Thien-Tanner model with due account for the near-wall layer depleted of macromolecules. This skimming layer i...
