Abstract
The phenomenon of anomalous osmosis is studied by using the coupled Nernst-Planck and Navier-Stokes equations to investigate diffusion of an electrolyte through a pore of an ion-exchange membrane. Exact solutions to these equations show that a concentration gradient can produce fluid motion. It is found that the velocity profiles may be significantly different from those of Poiseuille flow.
