Electrified fluid interfaces - Waves and pattern formation
Interactions of electric fields at the interface of two fluids leads to interesting phenomena arising from the discontinuity in the electrical properties of the two fluids. In this talk, we will look at how these can lead to particle agglomeration at interfaces, as applied to DNA motion at the interface of two aqueous solutions. We then look at how the electric field can lead to a Faraday-like instability at the interface of air-liquid, bearing distinct signatures from those seen in mechanical oscillations.
