Abstract

The temporal linear instability of a viscoelastic liquid sheet moving around an inviscid gas in a transverse electrical field is analyzed. The fluid is described by the leaky dielectric model, which is more complex than existing models and enables a characterization of the liquid electrical properties. In addition, the liquid is assumed to be viscoelastic, and the dimensionless dispersion relation of the sinuous and varicose modes between the wavenumber and the temporal growth rate can be derived as a 3 × 3 matrix. According to this relationship, the effects of the liquid properties on the sheet instability are determined. The results suggest that, as the electrical Euler number and the elasticity number increase and the time constant ratio decreases, the sheet becomes more unstable. Finally, an energy budget approach is adopted to investigate the instability mechanism for the sinuous mode.
