Deformation of water droplets on solid surface in electric field

Résumé

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the deformation of water droplets on a solid surface under electric stress. A mathematical model making it possible to simulate the axisymmetric as well as non-axisymmetric deformations of droplets is developed. According to this model, the droplet deformation depends on several parameters Such as the volume and the number of droplets, the conductivity and the permittivity of droplets, then proximity to one another. the Surface of the solid material, and the location of each droplet on the dielectric surface. The results of the simulation show the disturbance of the background field through the presence of a single or multiple droplets. An experimental study is also achieved by considering one to three droplets aligned simultaneously on a dielectric smooth surface between two electrodes subjected to AC voltages. The influence of the background field and the droplet location regarding the electrodes on the deformation of water droplets are evidenced.
