| contents | The free motion of charged colloids within ionic solutions and in the vicinity of charged boundaries, is a phenomenon that occurs in various natural, biological and industrial settings. Here, we develop an electrohydrodynamic lubrication theoretical framework, in order to characterize such a motion in the case of an infinite rigid cylinder near a rigid wall. Combining hydrodynamic lubrication theory, Debye-H\''uckel electrostatics, and Nernst-Planck electrokinetics, we derive the three coupled equations of motion for the normal, longitudinal and rotational degrees of freedom of the cylinder, which are then investigated numerically and through asymptotic analysis. Our results reveal complex behaviours, beyond existing asymptotic electroviscous-lift expressions, and extend the classical Faxen-Brenner-like mobility matrix when surface charges and dissolved ions are incorporated. |
