In this paper electrohydrodynamic (EHD) plumes are examined in the region far from the injecting electrode and the collector plate, for both two-dimensional and axisymmetric geometries. The relative importance of the conduction mechanisms (convection, drift and diffusion of electric charge) is analyzed. Diffusion turns out to be negligible...

An experimental investigation has been conducted to study corona discharge in a narrow tube. Narrow or capillary corona discharge (dis- charge tube diameter d = 1 to 20 mm) is used for many industrial applications such as flue gas cleaning corona induced plasma reactors, ion sources and electrohydrodynamic heat exchangers. In this work,...
