Abstract
The influence of an electric field on unsteady convective diffusion in coupled-stress flow is studied using a time-dependent dispersion model. The electric field is shown to increase the axial dispersion coefficient, which is useful in the control of hemolysis caused by implanted or extracorporeal artificial organs. The contribution of pure convection in the dispersion of concentration is singled out and investigated in detail. The results obtained are compared with those in the absence of electric field, and some important conclusions are drawn.<>
