Visco-potential flows in electrohydrodynamics

چکیده
In this study we consider the problem of the interface motion under the capillary–gravity and an external electric force. The infinitely deep fluid layer is assumed to be viscous, perfectly conducting and the flow to be incompressible. The weak viscous effects are introduced using the Helmholtz–Leray decomposition and the visco-potential flow approach. The electric charge distributions above and on the free surface are considered. Finally, we derive some linearized analytical solutions for the free surface elevation shape under the localised pressure distribution and the combined action of the forces mentioned herein above.

Visco-potential free-surface flows and long wave modelling
In a previous study [DD07b] we presented a novel visco-potential free surface flows formulation. The governing equations contain local and nonlocal dissipative terms. From physical point of view, local dissipation terms come from molecular viscosity but in practical computations, rather eddy viscosity should be used. On the other hand, nonlocal dissipative term represents a correction due to th...
متن کاملAn introductory essay on subcritical instabilities and the transition to turbulence in visco-elastic parallel shear flows
This paper is an pedagogical essay on the scenario of the instabilities and the transition to turbulence in visco-elastic polymer flows. When polymers are long, they get easily stretched by the shear present in flows, and the viscosity of the solution or melt is large. As a result, inertial effects are usually negligible as the Reynolds numbers are small but the fluid is strongly nonNewtonian d...
متن کاملA new constitutive law for dense granular flows
In many geophysical or industrial applications involving flows of grains, a continuum description would be of considerable help, for example in predicting natural hazards or in designing industrial processes. However, constitutive equations for dry granular flows are still matter of debates 1-10. One difficulty is that grains can behave like a solid (in a sand pile), a liquid (when poured from ...
متن کاملElectrohydrodynamics of Three-Dimensional Vesicles: A Numerical Approach
A three-dimensional numerical model of vesicle electrohydrodynamics in the presence of DC electric fields is presented. The vesicle membrane is modeled as a thin capacitive interface through the use of a semi-implicit, gradient-augmented level set jet scheme. The enclosed volume and surface area are conserved both locally and globally by a new Navier–Stokes projection method. The electric field...
