Developed to address the drawbacks of electro-wetting, electro-dewetting is a digital microfluidic technique that makes liquid dewet on substrate using an electric potential. In this paper, we propose electrohydrodynamic model describe dynamic evolution charged slender drop under influence external field. We introduce lubrication theory simplify and reproduce fundamental operations, including d...

Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) refers to the direct conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy of a fluid. Through the use of mobile electrodes, this principle is exploited in a novel fashion for designing and testing a millimeter-scale untethered robot, which is powered harvesting the energy from an external electric field. The robot is designed as an inverted sail-boat, with the thrus...

Industrial demands for more compact heat exchangers are a motivation to find new technology features. Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) is introduced as a promising phenomenon for heat transfer enhancement mechanisms. Similar to any new technology, EHD has not been understood completely yet and requires more fundamental studies. In boiling phase change phenomena, nucleation is the dominant mechanism i...

The development of theories for the electrohydrodynamics at soft surfaces enabled major progress in quantitative interpretation streaming current and surface conductivity data collected polymer brushes. In this paper, we review basics methodology discuss illustrative examples practical interest. particular, demonstrate how combination self-consistent field electrokinetic using Poisson–Boltzmann...
