Abstract

The stability of the ferrofluid (FF) subjected to the electric field is crucial for the application in high voltage (HV) technology. There are several cases where the fluid interacts with solid interfaces. We examined experimentally FF drop on a glass surface. The drop was exposed to the steady electric field. During tests the suspended particles started to aggregate. Changing drop's shape was recorded during a time period. It was observed that the further deformation development depends on aggregates shape and location. The results are compared with the behaviour of pure carrier fluid. Understanding the phenomenon associated with FF drop deformation can help more reliable HV component design.
