Based on preliminary theoretical work, it is proposed to study the instability modes of fluid interfaces under application of a normal electric field. The term "fluid Interface" refers to an interface between two immiscible fluids, an electrolyte and a dielectric fluid. The dielectric fluid may either be a gas or a liquid. The main focus of the project will be on spatially homogeneous AC electric fields. The instability modes of the fluid interface will be studied in terms of their spatial structure and oscillation frequency. The threshold field strength needed to trigger the instability will be determined. After initial studies with clean fluid interfaces, the studies will be extended to interfaces covered with surfactants or particles. Specifically, it is expected that surfactant or particle-covered fluid interfaces exhibit instability modes that are qualitatively and quantitatively different from those of clean interfaces. Furthermore, it is planned to extend the existing theory in specific directions. The proposed work may have implications for the controlled generation of small droplets induced by electric fields and for the structuring of liquid films via self-organization.

基于初步理论工作，建议研究在正常电场应用下流体界面的不稳定性模式。术语“流体界面”是指两个不混溶的流体，一个电解质和介电流体之间的界面。介电液可以是气体或液体。该项目的主要重点将放在空间均匀的交流电场上。流体界面的不稳定性模式将根据其空间结构和振荡频率进行研究。将确定触发不稳定性所需的阈值场强度。经过干净的流体界面研究后，研究将扩展到被表面活性剂或颗粒覆盖的界面。具体而言，预计表面活性剂或颗粒覆盖的流体界面表现出与清洁界面的定性和定量不同的不稳定性模式。此外，计划将现有理论扩展到特定的方向。所提出的工作可能对电场引起的小滴和通过自组织的液体膜的结构产生影响。
