Learn about magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in microfluidics systems through this 19-minute educational video that explores the Lorentz effect and electroosmosis phenomena near channel walls. Examine how variable electric fields interact with a constant magnetic field of 0.36 Tesla applied to sodium aqueous solutions, creating complex fluid dynamics at the microscale. Discover the fundamental principles governing the Lorentz force in microfluidic environments and understand how electroosmotic effects influence fluid behavior near solid boundaries. Analyze the coupling between electromagnetic fields and ionic fluid motion in confined geometries, gaining insights into the physics of charged particle transport in the presence of crossed electric and magnetic fields. Explore practical applications of MHD effects in microfluidic devices and understand how these phenomena can be leveraged for fluid control and manipulation at the microscale.
