So AC
electro-osmosis requires both normal and tangential components of electric field at the electrode surface, which leads to the frequency dependency of AC
electro-osmosis effect.
The role of sialic acids in
electro-osmosis and galvanotaxis could be more carefully studied on a model system that migrates at acidic pH where neuraminidase can more readily facilitate their removal.
Once this point has been reached for a pipe coating under CP, the
electro-osmosis becomes dominant in forcing more water into the coating, ultimately to form blisters.
Electro-osmosis depends on the net amount of ion migration towards an electrode location, and especially in low permeability, clayey soils, the net ion migration may be high and it can significantly affect the decontamination process (Acar and Alshawabkeh 1993; Lageman 1993).
Since there is an excess of counterions, there is a net momentum transfer to the fluid resulting in a net flow called
electro-osmosis. In a continuum description, a tangential Maxwell force is imparted on the fluid continuum within the charged double layer by the tangential field.
Highlights include gaining ICE Fellowship, being chair of the ICE WM committee and on projects such as using
electro-osmosis to stabilise landslides affecting the M5 motorway.
Engineers there are using
electro-osmosis, a technology used by civil engineers to dewater earthen dams and roadbeds, in their so-called lasagna process.
