Abstract
Electroconvective instability of a nonisothermal layer of a weakly conductive liquid with a free boundary whose surface tension depends linearly on temperature is considered for the case where charge injection is performed through this surface. When calculating the unperturbed stationary distribution of the charge and field, we supposed that the injector is separated from the liquid by an air gap of finite thickness. It was, however, assumed when analyzing the stability of the system that the motion in the air gap has no effect on the motion in the liquid phase and the disturbances of the electric field and charge in the air gap decay rapidly because of its high conductivity.
