Abstract

In this study, we present methods of coupling a commercial code, ANSYS CFX, and the user Fortran codes for solving an unsteady electro-osmotic flow around a pair of electrodes, receiving DC, attached to the top and the bottom walls of a two-dimensional cavity. We developed a module of Fortran programs for solving the ion-transport equations as well as the Poisson equations for the potential to be used in coupling with the CFX. We present how the developed codes are applied to solving the transient DC electro-osmotic flow problem within a simple cavity. We also address various problems encountered during the development process and explain why such problems are raised.
