Only systems of the greatest simplicity, well suited for a fundamental study, are considered. As the paper is intended to be introductory, the emphasis is on the physical mechanisms responsible for EHD phenomena

Observations of electrolytes on microelectrode structures at applied signal ...

If the field is non-uniform, the particle experiences a directional force and the resulting movement is referred to as dielectrophoresis. The high electric fields can also cause fluid motion, which in turn results in a viscous drag force on the particle. This paper outlines the application of dielectrophoresis to the sub-micrometre scale and discusses mechanisms responsible for fluid motion in small electrode structures. Preliminary ...

A highly nonlinear evolution equation for the deformation of the free surface of the film is derived. The study of the linear stability of the system shows the destabilizing effect of the electric forces. A

In order to understand the electrohydrodynamics of these systems, a knowledge of the forces acting at interfaces is necessary. We will review the balance equations for the forces and the charge density. The relevant nondimensional numbers will be derived and illustrated with some
