| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We analytically investigate breakup phenomena of a viscous liquid jet in a closely placed concentric sheath on which a static electric field is imposed. Taking account of a surrounding electric field of the jet, long wave nonlinear equations of the jet are derived. Evolution of the jet is numerically solved when a liquid emanates from a nozzle exit. It is shown that there exist three types of breakup modes - jetting, spraying and spinning - depending upon the parameters the electric Euler number Λ (=electric force/fluid inertial force) and the electric Peclet number Pe (=convective current/conductive current). Then, critical curves are found in the Λ-Pe parameter space, across which the mode is transferred from the jetting to the spinning through the spraying with the increase of Λ and/or the decrease of Pe. In particular, there is a range of Λ where a satellite drop appears with the increase of Λ for smaller Pe in the transition from jetting to spraying mode.
