... The results reveal that electroosmotic force enhances flow when aligned with peristalsis and opposes it when reversed. A thicker electrical double layer ( EDL ) opposes flow in the direction of the electric field more than a thinner EDL . Increasing Reynolds number enhances forward flow under a favorable...
