An intriguing experimental observation in electrocoalescence of water-in-oil emulsions is the
occurrence of a very low critical electric field, beyond which chaining of droplets and …

Application of an electric field across the interface of two fluids with low, but non-zero,
conductivities gives rise to a sustained electrohydrodynamic (EHD) fluid flow. In the …

An isolated charge-neutral droplet in a uniform electric field experiences no net force.
However, a droplet pair can move in response to field-induced dipolar and hydrodynamic …

The interfacial tension gradient forms tangential stress that drives fluid flow at a liquid–liquid
interface, known as the Marangoni convection. In this study, we report on the electrocapillary …

The quadrature error associated with a regular quadrature rule for evaluation of a layer
potential increases rapidly when the evaluation point approaches the surface and the …

In this work, we study the effects of surfactant elasticity (E), coverage factor (X), and Péclet
number (Pe) on the droplet shape and emulsion rheology. Our analysis considers a single …

Application of an electric field across the curved interface of two fluids of low but nonzero
conductivities, or “leaky dielectrics,” can give rise to electric stresses that drive sustained …

A comprehensive understanding of the physics of electrowetting of a surfactant-laden
droplet is important for applications in rapid healthcare diagnostics. A majority of biological …

The dynamics of charge-free dielectric droplets under electric fields in weakly conducting
fluids is relevant to a large range of technological and environmental applications. In …

Under a fully developed Poiseuille flow with nonisothermal condition, it has been widely
reported that the thermocapillary effects always strengthen the droplet migration velocity as …
