Fluid mechanics of continuous flow electrophoresisThe reported investigation has the objective to provide a basis for understanding the hydrodynamic characteristics of the continuous flow electrophoresis chamber and their effects on the separation process. Particular emphasis is placed on the role buoyancy plays in establishing the basic flow and affecting its stability. The flow and temperature field is discussed, taking into account mathematical models for the structure of the temperature field, models for the structure of the axial velocity field, a two-dimensional constant thermal conductivity model, the axial velocity field, a two-dimensional constant transport properties model, and one-dimensional velocity fields. Questions of hydrodynamic stability are considered, giving attention to the stability of a fully developed flow with an axial temperature gradient.
