Electrorheology in nanopores via lattice Boltzmann simulation

The use of a mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann numerical method to study the conductance of ionic species was discussed. It was found that the ionic species developed a structure within their channel in the absence of an external voltage. The structure was found to be dependent upon the Debye length, channel length, and ionic density. The amount of structure found was considerably less in the presence of a trans-membrane electrostatic potential.
