  • Abstract
    A mathematical model for the problem of water droplet deformation under the influence of transient high voltage fields is derived from Maxwell and Navier-Stokes equations. A novel computational approach based on the finite element method on a moving mesh is used. The numerical approach is verified by comparing the time dependent deformation of the simulated water droplets to experimental data.
