Magnetofluid unsteady electroosmotic flow of Jeffrey fluid at high zeta potential in parallel microchannels

Abstract: In this article, the magnetofluid unsteady electroosmotic flow (EOF) of Jeffrey fluid with high zeta potential is studied by using the Chebyshev spectral method and the finite difference method. By comparing the potential distribution and velocity distribution obtained by the Chebyshev spectral method and finite difference method, it is concluded that the Chebyshev spectral method has higher precision and less computation. Then the numerical solution obtained by the Chebyshev spectral method is used to analyze the flow characteristics of Jeffrey fluid at high zeta potential. The results show that the velocity of Jeffrey fluid increases with the increase of the wall zeta potential and electric field intensity. The oscillation amplitude of velocity distribution increases with the increase of relaxation time, but decreases with the increase of retardation time. With the increase of Hartmann number, the velocity first increases and then decreases. The positive pressure gradient promotes the flow of fluid, and the reverse pressure gradient impedes the flow of fluid.
