electrohydrodynamics

Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) is the study of how electric fields interact with fluids, particularly how they influence the movement of liquids and gases. When an electric field is applied, it can cause charged particles within the fluid to move, resulting in changes in flow patterns. This phenomenon has various applications, including in inkjet printing, energy harvesting, and improving fuel efficiency in engines. EHD helps scientists and engineers understand fluid behavior in the presence of electric forces, enabling the development of advanced technologies that harness this interaction for practical uses.
