We examine the flow organization induced by charge injection from a needle of small radius
of curvature into an insulating dielectric liquid. Experimental results are presented for the …

We present an experimental study of the dynamics of a plume generated from a small heat
source in a high Prandtl number fluid with a strongly temperature-dependent viscosity. The …

In this paper a comparative study between numerical and experimental results from particle
image velocimetry (PIV) measurements is presented in the case of two-dimensional …

The fundamental mechanisms responsible for the creation of electrohydrodynamically
driven roll structures in free electroconvection between two plates are analysed with …

We reconsider the theory of turbulent plume formation provided by Schmidt (1941a, b) and
its integral formulation, particularly that of Morton et al.(1956). A particular issue for the …

The buoyancy-induced laminar flow and temperature fields associated with a line source of
heat in an unbounded environment are described by numerically solving the non …

The governing equations of electrohydrodynamics pertinent to forced and free
electroconvection have been examined in the context of an array of charge injection …

Two-dimensional direct numerical simulation was carried out to investigate the various
dynamic characteristics of electrohydrodynamic plumes in viscoelastic fluids in a complex …

In this work, the effect of the atmospheric humidity on the electrical conductivity of oil as well
as its implications in the case of electrostatic atomizers are studied. It was observed that the …
