Transient Electroosmosis on a Soft Surface by Hiroyuki Ohshima

“…A closed-form approximate expression is derived for the electroosmotic velocity distribution within the polyelectrolyte layer as a function of both position and time. This analysis reveals that the temporal and spatial variations in the electroosmotic flow caused by the surface charges of the solid surface is confined to the region near the solid surface. …”
