We introduce a novel method to couple Lennard-Jones beads to a lattice-Boltzmann fluid by adding a term which represents the slip within the Debye layer with respect to the surrounding fluid. The method produces realistic electrophoretic dynamics of charged free chains, as well as the correct stall force in the limit of a thin Debye layer. Our simulations also demonstrate how a net-neutral polyampholyte can have a nonzero net force due to hydrodynamic interactions. This method represents an efficient way to simulate a wide variety of complex problems in electrohydrodynamics.
