Whipping in electrified liquid jets

ORAL

Abstract

Whipping is a non-axisymmetric instability that appears in electrified jets. In air, it usually manifests in a chaotic fashion and thus, its structure and properties have been hard quantify experimentally. We use electro-coflow to generate a steady-state whipping structure and quantify its geometry and how it depends on operating parameters, like liquid flow rates and applied voltage.
