| Fluid transport behaviors with the different surface charge distribution patterns. The total surface charge is −12 e, with the charges distributed on 1, 2, and 4 rings, respectively. (a) Axial velocity profiles, (b) slip length as a function of the number of rings (see insets), and (c) corresponding Coulomb potential profiles for different surface charge distribution patterns. Homogenized surface charges generate a smoother electric field, which is easier for water molecules and ions to get through. |
