The 1969 review by JR Melcher and GI Taylor defined the field of electrohydrodynamics.
Fifty years on, the interaction of weakly conducting (leaky dielectric) fluids with electric fields …

The field of droplet electrohydrodynamics (EHD) emerged with a seminal work of GI Taylor
in 1966, who presented the so-called leaky dielectric model (LDM) to predict the droplet …

When a charge neutral drop impacts on a flat solid substrate, a small air bubble is always
trapped underneath due to the lubrication pressure coming from the viscous stress in the …

We present an energy formulation of continuum electro-elasticity and magneto-electro-
elasticity. Based on the principle of minimum free energy, we propose a form of total free …

The transient deformation of a weakly conducting ('leaky dielectric') drop under a uniform DC
electric field is computed via an axisymmetric boundary integral method, which accounts for …

The deformation of a viscous liquid droplet suspended in another liquid and subject to an
applied electric field is a classic multiphase flow problem best described by the Melcher …

A hybrid method is developed for simulation of electrohydrodynamics interfacial flows. This
method uses a lattice Boltzmann color model to describe the immiscible two-phase flow and …

Deformation and coalescence behaviors of water droplets in viscous fluid under a direct
current electric field are investigated with experiments and numerical simulations. An electro …

We investigate the motion of a sedimenting drop in the presence of an electric field in an
arbitrary direction, otherwise uniform, in the limit of small interface deformation and low …

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 …
