Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A fundamental understanding of the transport phenomena in nanofluidic channels is critical for systematic design and precise control of such miniaturized devices towards the integration and automation of Lab-on-a-chip devices. The goal of this study is to develop a theoretical model of electroosmotic flow in nano channels to gain a better understanding of transport phenomena in nanofluidic channels. Instead of using the Boltzmann distribution, the conservation condition of ion number and the Nernst equation are used in this new model to find the ionic concentration field of an electrolyte solution in nano channels. Correct boundary conditions for the potential field at the center of the nanochannel and the concentration field at the wall of the channel are developed and applied to this model. It is found that the traditional plug-like velocity profile is distorted in the center of the channel due to the presence of net charges in this region opposite to that in the electrical double layer region. The developed model predicted a trend similar to that observed in experiments reported in the literature for the area-average velocity versus the ratio of Debye length to the channel height. © Springer-Verlag 2005.
