Abstract
The theory of streaming potential at sinusoidal flow of liquid in a porous medium is a convenient and fruitful tool for determination of the interface properties of materials and also for construction of apparatus for zeta potential measurements and electrokinetic transducers. An investigation of the dynamic streaming potential by the method of dimensional analysis is presented. This method provides a wider approach to the problem under consideration. As a result, relationships between streaming potential in a porous medium and mechanical quantities are established. These quantities include pressure gradient in a liquid inside pores and capillaries, acceleration of capillaries, and the solid part of a porous medium, and the viscous friction force the liquid exerts on the solid part. The corresponding formulas for streaming potential are presented. The relationship between the streaming potential and viscous friction force does not depend on the frequency of oscillation and pore size. All these formulas in particular cases are transformed to known formulas for the streaming potential.
