Charge Transport in an Incompressible Fluid: New Devices in Computational
Electronics
By: Joseph W. Jerome
A model for electro-diffusion is discussed, characterized by
the Navier-Stokes/Poisson-Nernst-Planck system. In particular,
we emphasize: (i) significant applications; (ii) existence for the
initial/boundary-value problem; (iii) aspects of the steady problem.
