Uniform electric-field-induced lateral migration of a sedimenting drop
Uniform electric-field-induced lateral migration of a sedimenting drop
We investigate the motion of a sedimenting drop in the presence of an electric field in an arbitrary direction, otherwise uniform, in the limit of small interface deformation and low-surface-charge convection. We analytically solve the electric potential in and around the leaky dielectric drop, and solve for the Stokesian velocity …
