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 …
Dispersion of droplets in an emulsion is commonly seen in several chemical, pharmaceutical and petroleum industries. Electric field has been shown to affect the stability …
A weakly conducting liquid droplet immersed in another leaky dielectric liquid can exhibit rich dynamical behaviors under the effect of an applied electric field. Depending on material …
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 …
We study the effect of surfactant on the pairwise interactions of drops in an applied uniform dc electric field using a combination of numerical simulations based on a boundary integral …
Eccentric compound drops, which are ubiquitous in many naturally inspired and engineering systems, can migrate under the sole presence of a uniform electric field, unlike the case of …
Electrocoalescence has long been known for the separation of a water‐in‐oil emulsion. An associated challenge with electrocoalescers is the undesired noncoalescence and …

Well-conditioned boundary integral methods for the solution of elliptic boundary value problems (BVPs) are powerful tools for static and dynamic physical simulations. When there …
