Electro-osmosis

  "term": "Electro-osmosis",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The movement of a polar liquid, such as water, through a porous material or across a membrane in response to an applied external electric field. This phenomenon occurs in materials with charged surfaces, like clay soils, where the electric field exerts a force on the mobile ions within the diffuse layer of the liquid, dragging the bulk fluid along. Electro-osmosis is a factor in soil moisture dynamics and can be used in geotechnical engineering to dewater or stabilize fine-grained soils.",
