Linear and Nonlinear Evolution and Diffusion Layer Selection in Electrokinetic Instability
E. A. Demekhin ; V. S. Shelistov ; S. V. Polyanskikh ;
Date 3 Apr 2011
AbstractIn the present work fournontrivial stages of electrokinetic instability are identified by direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the full Nernst-Planck-Poisson-Stokes (NPPS) system: i) The stage of the influence of the initial conditions (milliseconds); ii) 1D self-similar evolution (milliseconds-seconds); iii) The primary instability of the self-similar solution (seconds); iv) The nonlinear stage with secondary instabilities. The self-similar character of evolution at intermediately large times is confirmed. Rubinstein and Zaltzman instability and noise-driven nonlinear evolution to over-limiting regimes in ion-exchange membranes are numerically simulated and compared with theoretical and experimental predictions. The primary instability which happens during this stage is found to arrest self-similar growth of the diffusion layer and specifies its characteristic length as was first experimentally predicted by Yossifon and Chang (PRL 101, 254501 (2008)). A novel principle for the characteristic wave number selection from the broadbanded initial noise is established.
