Electrokinetic transport through the nanopores in cell membrane during electroporation

► Mass transfer and fluid flow in nanopores during cell electroporation were studied. ► Poisson-Nernst-Planck and modified Navier-Stokes equations were simulated directly. ► Electrokinetics has great influences on ionic mass transfer through nanopores. ► Bigger nanopores have greater convective ionic flux. ► Ionic flux and fluid flow are different on two sides of cell membrane.
