The talks in this session will focus on fundamental aspects of novel electrokinetic flows. This session specifically welcomes experimental, theoretical, and computational studies of electrokinetic flows involving ionic fluxes across interfaces due to heterogeneous reactions or between microchannels and nanochannels, membranes, and porous media. Example phenomena of interest include catalytic "Janus" nanomotors, concentration polarization, electrophoresis of ion-selective particles, biological ion channels in membranes, and intercalation dynamics in batteries. All topics on fundamental electrokinetics are welcome and are not limited to areas listed here within.
