The instability of a thin sheet of viscous and dielectric liquid moving in the same direction as an air stream in the presence of auniform horizontal electric field has been carried out using viscous potential flow theory. It is observed that aerodynamic-enhancedinstability occurs if the Weber number is much less than a critical value related to the ratio of the air and liquid stream velocities,viscosity ratio of two fluids, the electric field, and the dielectric constant values. Liquid viscosity has stabilizing effect in the stabilityanalysis, while air viscosity has destabilizing effect.
1. Introduction
The past decade has witnessed a rapid advancement in thestudy of instability of a liquid sheet because of its importancein several scientific and technological processes. Applicationof plane liquid sheets is an interesting phenomenon, whichcan be seen in power generation and propulsion systems [1],chemical and pharmaceutical processes [2], surface curtaincoatings, and in the adhesive industry [3]. A host of effortshave been devoted to study the behavior of a thin liquidsheet sprayed with an air stream.The instability and breakupprocess of a thin inviscid liquid sheet in a stationary gaseousmedium have been investigated by Squire [4] and Hagertyand Shea [5]. Their results show that the surface tensionresists the development of instability in a liquid sheet.
Fraser [6] has defined four modes of disintegration ofa liquid sheet, namely, rim, wavy sheet, perforated sheet,and air impact. In rim, the disintegration takes place dueto the contraction of the liquid sheet edges under theeffect of surface tension. In wavy sheet, the disintegrationoccurs due to any small protuberance on the sheet which issubjected to two opposing forces: surface tension force, whichdraws the liquid back to the original undisturbed shape,and aerodynamic force, which pulls the liquid outward.
If the aerodynamic force exceeds to the surface tensionforce, then any small disturbance present in the sheet willgrow rapidly, causing sheet instability. In perforated sheetdisintegration, disturbances on the sheet puncture it when thesheet becomes thin enough, and the resulting holes expandregularly by surface tension until they coalesce, formingthreads. In air impact disintegration, the disruption of theliquid is very near to that of a twin-fluid nozzle, where twostreams of air and liquid are caused to impinge together.Squire [4] has studied the disintegration according to thewavy sheet mode. Dombrowski and Johns [7] extended theabove analysis including the effect of liquid viscosity, andtheir results are valid for very large Weber number. Joostanet al. [8] have studied the effect of capillary waves on a freeand viscous liquid sheet. Rashed et al. [9] have studied thedisintegration of the liquid sheet according to perforated sheetmode and found that instability occurs if the Weber numberis less than a critical value related to the ratio of the air andliquid stream velocities.
Ibrahim and Jackson [10] have studied the spatial insta-bility of an incompressible liquid sheet injected into acompressible gas and found that the growth rate of distur-bances increases initially with gas compressibility, reachesa maximum near gas Mach number 1, and then decreases

as the gas Mach number is increased further. Ibrahim andAkpan [11] have studied the linear stability of inviscid liquidsheet emanated into an inviscid gas medium. A power seriesmathematical solution for the problem of instability of aninviscid liquid sheet of parabolic velocity profile emanatedfrom a nozzle into an inviscid gas has been established byIbrahim [12]. Nonlinear instability and breakup of an annularliquid sheet have been modeled by Ibrahim and Jog [13].
There is increasing interest in the electrohydrodynamicstability as the electric field plays an important role in manypractical problems of biophysics, chemical engineering, andvarious other fields.The effect of an applied electric field on aliquid sheet has several applications in astrophysics, chemicalengineering, and industry [14]. If an electric field is applied ona liquid sheet, the instability conditions will be considerablymodified. El-Sayed [15] has studied the instability of a thinsheet of dielectric liquid moving in the same direction as anair stream in the presence of a uniform horizontal electricfield and observed that the electric field has stabilizingeffect, and there exists a critical Weber number above whichinstability is suppressed by the surface tension effect.
Viscous potential flow theory [16] has played an impor-tant role in studying various stability problems. In viscouspotential flow, viscous term in the Navier-Stokes equationis identically zero when the vorticity is zero but the viscousstresses are not zero. Tangential stresses are not considered inthe viscous potential flow theory, and viscosity enters throughnormal stress balance. In this theory, no-slip condition at theboundary is not enforced so that two-dimensional solutionssatisfy three-dimensional solutions. Joseph et al. [17] studiedviscous potential flow of Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Funadaand Joseph [18] have done the viscous potential flow analysisof Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in a channel and found thatthe stability criterion for viscous potential flow is given by thecritical value of the relative velocity. From the above studyFunada and Joseph [18] concluded that the critical value ismaximum when viscosity ratio equals to the density ratio.Awasthi and Agrawal [19] have studied the viscous potentialflow analysis of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of a cylindricalinterface and found that the viscosity of the fluids stabilizesthe interface. The rupture of a 3D stationary free liquid filmunder the competing effects of surface tension and van derWaals forces has been studied by Ardekani and Joseph [20] asa linearized stability problem in a purely irrotational analysisutilizing the dissipation method.
In the present work, the viscous potential flow theory hasbeen used to study the instability of thin liquid sheet movingin the same direction as an air stream and in the presenceof uniform horizontal electric field. Both the liquid and airtreats as incompressible and viscous with different kinematicviscosities and having horizontal velocities. In the presentinvestigation, the sheet has been taken as two-dimensional,irrotational, and of constant thickness, considering onlyantisymmetric oscillations (predominant for instability asmentioned by Squire [4]) of the moving sheet. Normal modetechnique has been used to solve the governing equations.A dispersion relation is derived and stability is discussedtheoretically as well as numerically. Various neutral curveshave been drawn to show the effect of various physical
parameters such asReynolds number,Weber number, electricfield intensity, and ratio of permittivity of two fluids on thestability of the system. Finally, a comparison has been madebetween the results of present study and the results obtainedby El-Sayed [15] for inviscid potential analysis.
2. Problems Formulation
Consider a two-dimensional irrotational sheet of viscousand dielectric liquid of density π(1), viscosity π(1), dielectricconstant π(1), surface tension π, and thickness β = 2π,moving with velocity π1 along an air stream (on both sidesof the sheet), which is of density π(2), viscosity π(2), dielectricconstant π(2), and moving with velocity π2. Both fluids areassumed to be incompressible and irrotational. The originis located at the mid-plane of the liquid sheet so in theequilibrium state, the equation of interface can be expressedas π¦ = π. On applying small disturbances to the system, theequation of upper surface can be written as
πΉ (π₯, π¦, π‘) = π¦ β π β π (π₯, π‘) = 0, (1)
where π represents the displacement of liquid sheet from itsequilibrium position and πΉ represents the equation of thedisturbed surface.
The unit outward normal to the interface is given by
n = βπΉ|βπΉ|
= {1 + (ππ
ππ₯)
2
}
β1/2
(βππ
ππ₯eπ₯ + eπ¦) , (2)
and the unit outward normal of the first order is given by
n = (βππππ₯
eπ₯ + eπ¦) . (3)
In each fluid layer velocity is expressed as the gradient ofthe potential function π(π₯, π¦, π‘), and the potential functionssatisfy Laplaceβs equation, that is,
β2π(π)= 0, π = 1, 2, (4)
where β2 = π2/ππ₯2 + π2/ππ¦2.In initial state, the potential function can be written as
π(π)
0 = πππ₯ (π = 1, 2) . (5)
The considered system is influenced by a uniform hori-zontal electric field πΈ0 in the positive π₯-direction
E = πΈ0eπ₯. (6)
We have assumed that the quasistatic approximation isvalid for the problem, and therefore, the electric field can bederived fromelectric scalar potential function π(π₯, π¦, π‘) suchthat
Eπ = πΈ0eπ₯ β βππ, (π = 1, 2) . (7)
Gaussβs law requires that the electric potentials also satisfyLaplaceβs equation, that is,
β2ππ = 0, (π = 1, 2) . (8)

(ii) The tangential component of the electric field mustbe continuous across the interface, that is, n β§ β¦Eβ§ =0 or

(iii) There is discontinuity in the normal current acrossthe interface; charge accumulation within a materialelement is balanced by conduction from bulk fluidon either side of the surface. Hence, the boundarycondition corresponding to normal component of theelectric field at the interface is given by n β β¦πEβ§ = 0 or

where ππ (π = 1, 2) are the pressure for lower andupper fluids, respectively, and this pressure can beobtained using Bernoulliβs equation.
Using Bernoulliβs equation for the pressure in (12) andsubsequently linearizing it, we get

4. Normal Mode Analysis andDispersion Relation
Now the normal mode technique has been used to findthe solution of the governing equations. Let the interfaceelevation be represented by
π = πΆ exp [π (ππ₯ β ππ‘)] + π.π, (14)
where πΆ is constant, π is the real wave number, π is thegrowth rate, and π.π. refers to the complex conjugate of thepreceding term.
On solving (3) and (8) with the help of boundaryconditions, we get
π(1)= π (

sinh ππ¦cosh ππ
exp [π (ππ₯ β ππ‘)] + π.π,
π(2)= βπ (

(π(2) + π(1) coth ππ)πΆ exp {βπ (π¦ β π)}
Γ exp [π (ππ₯ β ππ‘)] + π.π.
(15)
Substituting the values of π, π(1), π(2), π(1), and π(2) in (13),we get the dispersion relation

(16)
Dividing (16) by π(1)π21 and calling π(2)/π(1)= π, π(2)/π(1) =
π, π(2)/π(1) = π, π = π/ππ1, π = ππ, and πΈ2=πΈ20π(1)/π(1)π21 ,
we can get

(17)
where π = π/π(1)π21π represents the Weber number andRe = π(1)π1π/π
(1) denotes Reynolds number.Equation (17) can be written as
π· (π, π) = π0π2+ (π1 + ππ1) π + (π2 + ππ2) = 0, (18)
where π0 = tanh π + π, π1 = β2(tanh π + ππ), π1 =β(2π/Re)(tanh π + π), π2 = (tanh π + ππ
2) β πΈ2(π β 1)

coth π) β ππ, and π2 = (2π/Re)(tanh π + ππ).
4 Modelling and Simulation in Engineering
Let π = ππ + ππΞ, separating the real and imaginary partsof (18), we have
π0 (π2
π β π2
πΌ) + (π1ππ β π1ππΌ) + π2 = 0,
ππ = βπ1ππΌ + π2
2π0ππΌ + π1
.
(19)
Eliminating the value of ππ from the previous equations,we get a quartic equation in πΞ as
π΄4ππΌ4+ π΄3ππΌ
3+ π΄2ππΌ
2+ π΄1ππΌ + π΄0 = 0, (20)
where π΄4 = β4π30 , π΄3 = β8π
20π1, π΄2 = 4π
20π2 β 5π0π
21 β π0π
21 ,
π΄1 = 4π0π2π1 β π31 β π21π1, and π΄0 = π0π
22 β π1π1π2 + π2π
21 .
From (20), we can get the value of maximum growthrate ππΌπ and corresponding wave number ππ. The neutralcurves can be obtained from (20) by putting ππΌ = 0, so (20)reduces to
π΄0 = 0, that is, π0π2
2 β π0π1π2 β π2π2
1 = 0. (21)Putting the values of π0, π1, π2, π1, and π2 in the aboveequation, we get
(1 β π)2{π2 tanh π + π tanh2π}
= [πΈ2(π β 1)
2
π + coth π+ππ] {tanh π + π}2.
(22)
In practical applications, π is very small [4], then taking theapproximation tanh π β π in (22), we have
(1 β π)2{π2+ ππ} = [
πΈ2(π β 1)
2
ππ + 1+π] {π + π}
2. (23)
Hence, for instability it must be
(1 β π)2
π> [
πΈ2(π β 1)
2
π(ππ + 1)+ 1]
{π + π}2
{π2 + ππ}. (24)
From the expression (24) the following conclusions can beeasily drawn.
(1) If fluids are inviscid, that is, π = 0, it is reduced todispersion relation as obtained by El-Sayed [15].
(2) In the absence of electric field and viscosity, (24) willrepresent the same dispersion relation as obtained byRashed et al. [9].
(3) In the limit when πΈ, π, and π tend to zero, (24) isreduced to dispersion relation as obtained by Squire[4].
The condition of instability of the liquid sheet can also bewritten as
π < [(1 β π)2{π2+ ππ}
{π + π}2βπΈ2(π β 1)
2
(ππ + 1)] . (25)
Hence, the instability occurs if Weber number is less than thecritical value ofWeber numberππ; otherwise system is stablewhere ππ is given by
ππ = [(1 β π)2{π2+ ππ}
{π + π}2βπΈ2(π β 1)

5. Results and Discussion
In this section the numerical computation has been carriedout using the expressions (26) and (23) presented in theprevious section. Water and air have been taken as workingfluids identified with phase 1 and phase 2, respectively.Following parametric values have been taken.
π(1)
= 1.0 gm/cm3, π(2) = 0.001 gm/cm3, π(1) =0.01 poise, π(2) = 0.00018 poise, π(1) = 80.37 F/cm, π(2) =1.0 F/cm, and π = 72.3 dyne/cm.
The neutral curves of Weber number for the differentvalues of velocity ratio of two fluids have been drawn inFigure 1. The region above the curves denotes the stableregion, while below region is the region of instability. Asvelocity ratio increases, stable region decreases, and therefore,the velocity ratio of two fluids has destabilizing effect. In otherwords, one can say that the air velocity has destabilizing effectwhile liquid velocity plays stabilizing role.
The effect of Weber number on the neutral curves ofvelocity ratio of two fluids has been shown in Figure 2.Neutral curves for velocity ratio divide the plane into thestable region (below the curve) and unstable region (abovethe curve). AsWeber number increases, the region of stabilityalso increases for the same value of other parameters. TheWeber number is directly proportional to the surface tensionof the liquid. Therefore, as surface tension increases, thedisintegration of the liquid sheet decreases. Therefore, itis concluded that the effect of surface tension resists theoccurrence and development of instability.
In Figure 3, the effect of ratio of viscosity of two fluids hasbeen studied. As viscosity ratio increases, the stable regiondecreases, and this shows that viscosity ratio of two fluidshas destabilizing effect on the aerodynamic instability ofthe liquid sheet. The viscosity ratio is directly proportionalto the air viscosity and inversely proportional to the liquid

viscosity. Hence, air viscosity has destabilizing effect on theaerodynamic stability analysis of a liquid sheet, while liquidviscosity plays a stabilizing role. As the air viscosity increases,the air flow is impeded and instability occurs.
The effect of electric field intensity πΈ on the neutralcurves of velocity ratio has been shown in Figure 4 whenWeber number π = 100 and viscosity ratio π = 0.018. Ithas been noticed that the increase in electric field intensityenlarges the stable region. Hence electric field has stabilizingeffect on the instability of the liquid sheet. If electric field is

In Figure 5, the variation of critical value of velocityratio π with the permittivity ratio of two fluids π for dif-ferent values of electric field intensity πΈ = 10, 12, and15 has been shown for Weber number π = 100. Thefigure shows that as the ratio of the permittivities of thetwo fluids increases, the critical value of relative velocity firstdecreases and then increases. It shows that π plays dual role,

that is, destabilizing as well as stabilizing effect in the stabilityanalysis.
6. Conclusions
The instability of a thin sheet of viscous and dielectric liquidmoving in the same direction as an air stream in the presenceof a uniform horizontal electric field has been investigatedusing viscous potential flow theory. Both fluids are takenas incompressible and viscous with different kinematic vis-cosities. A dispersion relation has been derived, and stabilityis discussed theoretically as well as numerically. Stabilitycriterion is given in the terms of velocity ratio of two fluidsas well as critical value of applied electric field. The systemis unstable when the Weber number is less than the criticalvalue of Weber number; otherwise, it is stable. It has beenfound that aerodynamic-enhanced instability occurs if thevelocity ratio is greater than a critical value related to the ratioof the air and liquid viscosities, Weber number, the electricfield, and the dielectric constant values. The electric field isfound to have a stabilizing effect while dielectric constantplays dual role in the stability criterion. Surface tension hasstability effect on the aerodynamic instability of a liquid sheet.Liquid viscosity has stabilizing effect in the stability analysis,while air viscosity has destabilizing effect.
