Abstract

Linear viscoelastic potential flow analysis of capillary instability in presence of axial electric field has been studied. A dispersion relation is derived for the case of axially imposed electric field and stability is discussed in terms of various parameters such as electric field, Deborah number, Ohnesorge number, permittivity ratio and conductivity ratio etc. Stability criterion is given in the terms of critical value of wave number as well as critical value of applied electric field. The system is unstable when electric field is less than the critical value of electric field, otherwise it is stable. It has been found that in presence of the electric field the growth rates for viscoelastic fluid are higher than viscous fluid. Various graphs have been plotted for growth rate and critical electric field.
