Electrohydrodynamics of viscous drops in strong electric fields: numerical simulations
Weakly conducting dielectric liquid drops suspended in another dielectric liquid and subject to an applied uniform electric field exhibit a wide range of dynamical behaviours contingent on field strength and material properties. These phenomena are best described by the Melcher–Taylor leaky dielectric model, which hypothesizes charge accumulation on the drop–fluid interface and prescribes a bal...
متن کاملDrops with conical ends in electric and magnetic fields
Slender-body theory is used to determine the approximate static shape of a conically ended dielectric drop in an electric field. The shape and the electric-field distribution follow from solution of a second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation that can be integrated numerically or analytically. An analytic formula is given for the dependence of the equilibrium cone angle on the ratio...
متن کاملIon Collisions in Very Strong Electric Fields
A Classical Trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) simulation has been made of processes of charge exchange and ionization between an hydrogen atom and fully stripped ions embedded in very strong static electric fields (O(10 V/m)), which are thought to exist in cosmic and laser–produced plasmas. Calculations show that the presence of the field affects absolute values of the cross sections, enhancing ion...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of gel electrophoresis of DNA knots in weak and strong electric fields.
Gel electrophoresis allows one to separate knotted DNA (nicked circular) of equal length according to the knot type. At low electric fields, complex knots, being more compact, drift faster than simpler knots. Recent experiments have shown that the drift velocity dependence on the knot type is inverted when changing from low to high electric fields. We present a computer simulation on a lattice ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of Lobed Mixer Flow Fields
The applicability of a three-dimensional, steady, compressible, unstructured-mesh, viscous, Navier-Stokes solver and a two-dimensional, unsteady, slender-body approximation was studied for the investigation of lobed mixer flow fields. The viscous flow solver was evaluated for its ability to calculate the shed streamwise circulation, its subsequent downstream evolution and the thrust. The effect...
