| Research Abstract |
Electro-conjugate fluid is a functional fluid, which generates a powerful flow when subjected to high voltage. In order to clarify its flow mechanism, this study introduces an electric force induced to a dielectric under electric field to Newtonian fluid equation of motion. The calculated flow velocity distribution using this model quantitatively corresponds to that obtained by an experiment. In addition, an electrode pair designed using the knowledge based on the model is introduced to develop a robot hand, and the hand proved the potential of electro-conjugate fluid as a micro fluid pressure source.
