MODELING THE DYNAMICS OF CHARGED DROP OF ONE LIQUID IN ANOTHER UNDER THE ACTION OF AN ELECTRIC FIELD
The work is devoted to the study of the features of the behavior of a group of droplets of one viscous liquid in another under the influence of various physical fields. When considering the dynamics of two drops under the action of an electric field, it is assumed that a drop in the form of a sphere with radius а will be placed in an electric field with an intensity E , investigates how droplets will react to each other under the influence of an electric field. A mathematical model has been built and a computer program has been developed for the numerical solution of this problem. The behavior of several drops in an electric field is studied for different physical parameters of the material of the drops and the environment, as well as for different initial distributions of drops and the strength of the electric field. It is shown for the first time that emulsion droplets distributed in space, under the action of an electric field, begin to move and after a certain time a new stationary structure of droplets is formed. It was found that the relaxation time depends on the electric field strength, the size of the droplets and their initial distribution.
