Chapter 5
Electrostatics and electrodynamics
This text is primarily concerned with the behavior of fluids in micro- and nanofabricated systems; however, the
ubiquity of diffuse charge in solution and the routine use of applied electric fields requires that the electrodynamic
equations be solved simultaneously with the fluid equations, leading to a body force term that modifies the fluid
velocity fields. In this chapter, we summarize the fundamental equations of electrostatics and electrodynamics with
specific focus on aqueous solutions with boundary conditions typical of microfluidic devices. We also present a
description of electrical circuits, which describe the electrostatics and electrodynamics of discretized
elements.
