The motion of a spherical particle undergoing electrophoresis in weakly inertial or viscoelastic shear flow is quantified via asymptotic analysis. We are motivated by several experimental studies reporting cross-streamline migration of electrophoretic colloids in Poiseuille microchannel flow. Specifically, particles migrate in a Newtonian liquid to the center(walls) of a channel when their electrophoretic velocity is in the opposite(same) direction to(as) the flow. Here, we calculate that weak fluid inertia causes a leading-order cross-streamline lift force of magnitude $5.50\veps|\zeta|a^3\rho\dot\gamma E^{\infty}/\mu$ for electrophoresis along the velocity axis of an unbounded simple shear flow, where $\zeta$ and $a$ denote the particle zeta potential and radius, respectively; $\rho$, $\mu$, and $\veps$ are the fluid density, viscosity, and permittivity, respectively; $\dot{\gamma }$ is the shear rate of the ambient flow; and $E^{\infty }$ is the strength of the imposed electric field. This force acts to propel the sphere to shear streamlines that, in a frame translating with the particle, are directed reverse to the electrophoretic motion, which is consistent with the above-mentioned experiments. Other recent experiments have observed migration of electrophoretic particles in Poiseuille flow of a viscoelastic polymer solution: the migration direction is opposite to that in a Newtonian liquid. Here, we calculate a leading-order cross-streamline lift force of magnitude $7.07(1-3.33\Psi_2/\Psi_1)\veps|\zeta|a \Psi_1\dot\gamma E^{\infty}/\mu$ for electrophoresis in simple shear flow of a second-order fluid, where ${\Psi }_1$ and ${\Psi }_2$ are the first and second normal stress coefficients, respectively. The lift is toward streamlines moving in the direction of electrophoresis for $_2/_1

电泳颗粒在弱惯性或粘弹性剪切流中的迁移

通过渐近分析对在弱惯性或粘弹性剪切流中进行电泳的球形颗粒的运动进行定量。我们受到一些实验研究的启发，这些研究报告了电泳胶体在Poiseuille微通道流中的跨流线迁移。具体而言，当粒子的电泳速度与流动方向相反（相同）时，粒子在牛顿液体中迁移到通道的中心（壁）。在这里，我们计算出弱的流体惯性会导致沿电泳方向的量级为$ 5.50 \ veps | \ zeta | a ^ 3 \ rho \ dot \ gamma E ^ {\ infty} / \ mu $的前导跨流线提升力。无限简单剪切流的速度轴，其中$\zeta$ 和 $\mathrm{一种}$ 分别表示粒子的ζ电势和半径； $\rho$， $\mu$，和$ \ veps $分别是流体密度，粘度和介电常数；$\dot{\gamma }$是环境流量的剪切率；和${Ë}^{\infty }$是施加的电场强度。此力起到推动球体剪切流线的作用，在与粒子平移的框架中，流线的方向与电泳运动相反，这与上述实验一致。最近的其他实验还观察到电泳粒子在粘弹性聚合物溶液的泊瓦（Poiseuille）流中迁移：迁移方向与牛顿液体中的迁移方向相反。在这里，我们计算幅度领先的高阶交叉流升力$ 7.07（1-3.33 \ PSI_2 / \ PSI_1）\ VEPS | \泽塔| A \ PSI_1 \点\伽马E 1 {\ infty} / \ $亩为在二阶流体的简单剪切流中进行电泳，其中${\Psi }_{\mathrm{1个}}$ 和 ${\Psi }_2$分别是第一和第二法向应力系数。升降机朝着沿电泳方向移动的流线移动，价格为$ _2 / _1
