where 2 h is the gap between the two parallel plates.
2.3.2 Three-dimensional analysis
For axisymmetric channel geometry, such as a cylindrical capillary, the two-dimensional analysis
described in the above subsection is appropriate. For real channel geometry, the cross-sectional
velocity profile and, consequently, the dispersion coefficient also depend on the channel shape. In other
words, the second transversal spatial dimension needs to be considered in the analysis.
