We describe an experimental investigation of the different patterns that appear in thin liquid layers subjected to strong electric fields and a corona discharge. The study is motivated by recent observations [F. Vega Reyes, F.J. García, Pattern imaging of primary and secondary instabilities, J. Fluid Mech. 549 (2006) 61–69] of important...
A little known electrohydrodynamic instability, which we call a rose window, is observed in air/liquid interfaces in electric fields with unipolar space charge distributions. Depending on the liquid properties, the rose window may appear from an initial rest state (primary instability) or on top of another instability, the classical...
Under certain conditions, two samples of fluid at different initial temperatures present a counterintuitive behavior known as the Mpemba effect: it is the hotter system that cools sooner. Here, we show that the Mpemba effect is present in granular fluids, both in uniformly heated and in freely cooling systems. In both cases, the system remains...
We set the equations for the linear electrohydrodynamic instability of an interface between two fluids, subjected to a perpendicular field and a unipolar charge injection. One of the fluids is modeled as being in non-ohmic regime (insulating), whereas the other is ohmic. A new interfacial instability mechanism is described, which may account...
Control of cooling and heating processes is essential in many industrial and biological processes. In fact, the time evolution of an observable quantity may differ according to the previous history of the system. For example, a system that is being subject to cooling and then, at a given time t w for which the instantaneous temperature is , is...
We report the emergence of a giant Mpemba effect in the uniformly heated gas of inelastic rough hard spheres: The initially hotter sample may cool sooner than the colder one, even when the initial temperatures differ by more than one order of magnitude. In order to understand this behavior, it suffices to consider the simplest Maxwellian...
