Study of leaky dielectric droplet behavior under an electric field: effect of viscosity and electric conductivity ratios

In this research, hydrodynamic behavior of a leaky dielectric droplet under an electric field is simulated. The level set method is used for interface tracking and the ghost fluid method is used for modeling discontinuous quantities at interface. Using Taylor’s leaky dielectric model, electric field and electric force at the interface is calculated. Simulation results show the droplet deformati...

Fluctuation-enhanced electric conductivity in electrolyte solutions.

We analyze the effects of an externally applied electric field on thermal fluctuations for a binary electrolyte fluid. We show that the fluctuating Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations for charged multispecies diffusion coupled with the fluctuating fluid momentum equation result in enhanced charge transport via a mechanism distinct from the well-known enhancement of mass transport that accompa...

Estimation of the Anisotropy of Electric Conductivity via B1 Mapping

Introduction: The electric conductivity can potentially be used as diagnostic information due to its ability to reflect the grade of tissue damage (see, e.g., [1]). In its general form, the conductivity is given by a rank-2 tensor, including anisotropic cases of conductivity. In vivo, anisotropic conductivities can be found in tissue with preferred cell direction, e.g., in muscles and nerves [2...

Electric Field Dependence of the Electric Conductivity in Liquid Crystals Made of Bent-Core Molecules

Finite-Size Scaling Features of Electric Conductivity Percolation in Nanocomposites

Using conductive nanocomposites for bipolar plates in fuel cells can improve their performance. Percolation is the mechanism for nanocomposite conductivity. When the volume fraction of fillers in a composite material reaches a critical value, percolation starts to happen. If the composite material has an infinitesize, the probability of conductivity jumps from zero to 100% at the critical volum...
