Numerical Study of the Thermal Excitation Applied to a Dielectric Liquid Film

Abstract

The study of the electrical double layer in transitory regime seems to be a good way to reach a better understanding of its origin. Recent numerical studies have shown the importance of taking into account the thermal dependence of the liquid intrinsic properties, such as the electrical permittivity or ionic mobility. In this paper, a film of dielectric liquid trapped between two metallic plane electrodes is studies via its electrical current response to the thermal step.
