Abstract

One-dimensional equations are derived for a rotating viscous slender liquid jet in a radial electric field using asymptotic methods. The trajectory of the curved Newtonian liquid jets is found by solving the nonlinear one-dimensional equations. The temporal instability of the steady solutions is analysed. It was found that the electric force enhances the growth rate and increases its corresponding maximum wavenumber.
