Flow of electrolyte through porous piezoelectric medium: macroscopic equations

Abstract The aim of this contribution is to elaborate a general framework for modelling flows of two-ionic species electrolytes through porous piezoelectric media. By using the method of two-scale asymptotic expansions, the macroscopic phenomenological equations describing electrokinetics of such a structure are derived and the formulae for the effective mechanical and nonmechanical coefficients are given. Natural jump conditions are assumed on the interfaces between the piezoelectric skeleton and conductive fluid.
