Homogenization of the Poisson--Nernst--Planck equations for Ion Transport in Charged Porous Media

Effective Poisson--Nernst--Planck (PNP) equations are derived for ion transport in charged porous media under forced convection (periodic flow in the frame of the mean velocity) by an asymptotic multiscale expansion with drift. The homogenized equations provide a modeling framework for engineering w...
