ABSTRACT

I. INTRODUCTION Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) is the study of the motion of liquids sub­ jected to electric fields. The forces that are exerted by an electric field on free or polarization charges present in a liquid are transmitted by colli­ sions on the neutral molecules. Typically, the liquid will be set in motion, thus changing the distribution of charges that in turn modify the electric field. This coupling makes EHD a difficult subject.
