Soft Matter and Complex Systems Seminar

I will present preliminary results of an analysis of micro capacitorfilled with electrolyte responding to the AC voltage. The analysis interms of micrometer scale fluid flow and charge dynamics revealsinteresting phenomena like charge separation, charge inflow into thecapacitor and nontrivial pressure field dynamics. It is an attempt toexplain surprising experimental results. Most calculations are done inOpenFOAM environment for solving PDE using finite volume method.
