Abstract
In this study, electrophoresis of a soft particle is the fundamental thesis, and effects come from the variation of the boundary and particle shape are mainly focused. In
recent years, the assumption of a soft particle has been studied in simulation of a bio-particle. Based on this assumption, a variety of phenomena has been easily translated, so it is adopted in many fields such as biochemistry and medical science. For analytical or even numerical approach in electrokinetic phenomena, a model which can correctly describe the behavior is desirable and necessary. In order to simulate a case closed to reality, a soft particle is assumed to fit the nature of a colloidal particle. The effects of the particle shape, charges on the particle, the nature of the membrane,the boundary, the double layer polarization (DLP), and the electroosmotic flow are investigated. This research not only provides reasonable explanations behind special observation in real experiments but possibly predicts extraordinary phenomena in future
studies.
