On the nonlinearity of electrokinetic phenomena. Overview

As a result of a review of work on nonlinear electrokinetic phenomena, the following conclusions are made. The use of electrokinetic effects at significant values of the external electric field can significantly increase the electroosmotic and electrophoretic speeds, which vary with increasing external electric field strength: linearly for linear models of electrokinetics, cubically at moderate field strengths and quadratically at high electric field strengths. Consideration of these circumstances will allow to obtain increased electrophoretic and electroosmotic fluid velocities and significantly increase the corresponding mobility.
