Area of research :

Astronomy & Space Sciences

Focus area :

Micro-fluidics

Details

Executive Summary :

Scope of project shall be to model andsimulate the multiphysics phenomenon tocapture the following three behaviors: 1) Movement of ionic fluid (EMI-BF4) in amicro-capillary under the influence of electric field. 2) Formation of Taylor's Cone at thecapillary tip under the influence ofelectric field. 3) Spray formation and droplet movementunder the influence of electric field.
