✦ Synopsis

The present work will show the combination of the level-set method and the ghost-fluid method employed to simulate two-dimensional droplet dynamics in the presence of an electric field. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is used to model the fluid flow both inside and outside the droplet. Poisson equation with discontinuous coefficients for the electric potential is calculated using the ghost-fluid method. Then the electrically induced surface forces are incorporated into the hydrodynamic interfacial relations, which are handled in a sharp manner. The utility of the method is demonstrated in the calculation of droplet breakup and coalescence due to the electrically induced forces.

The Green's function and energy eigenvalues of an electron under the influence of a uniform electric field in a box with infinitely high sides is investigated. The second order correction to the energy eigenvalues is calculated by finding zeros of the wronskian and comparing with the value obtained

Within the framework of an effective medium approach and a mean-field approximation, we present a simple lattice model to treat electrical percolation in the presence of attractive interactions. We show that the percolation line depends on the magnitude of interactions. In 2 dimensions, the percolat
