✦ Synopsis
Bouncing Motions of Liquid Drops between Tilted Parallel-Plate Electrodes
The paper reports on experimental and analytic studies on translational motions of liquid drops in an immiscible, dielectric liquid confined by a pair of tilted parallel-plate electrodes, across which a steady electric field is being applied. With an increase of the strength of the field, drops begin to bounce back and forth between the electrodes while falling down along the axis of tilt of the electrodes. The bouncing motions are found to be predictable with a reasonable accuracy by using a simple model constructed within the framework of conventional fluid mechanics and electrostatics.
