Abstract
An attempt has been made to analyze the blood flow under the action an applied electric potential. Blood is considered to be characterized by the micropolar fluid. Equations for the conservation of linear momentum and angular momentum as well as Gauss’s law of charge distribution have been solved within the framework of Debye-Huckel approximation. The flow is further considered to take place in a channel whose walls are vibrating in a periodic manner. Analytical expression of micro-rotation has been used to plot the three dimension figures by varying controllable variables under practical consideration. The results presented here reveal that the microrotation of the suspended microelments in blood also plays an important role in controlling the electroosmotically actuated flow dynamics in micro-bio-fluidic devices.
