Abstract

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) method has emerged as a powerful technique for electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow field measurements. Based on a series of parallel field measurements along the blade electrode, we reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) structure of EHD flows produced by an actuator in the blade-plane geometry. A non-uniform distribution of injection intensity and velocity is observed along the electrode. With the aid of slice plots from different views of 3D Cartesian, it is understood that the applied voltage, electrode spacing and the electrode surface or tip roughness exert a remarkable effect upon the structure of EHD jets. The findings of this investigation will complement the full view of the 3D structure of the jet and be of broad use to guide the selection of appropriate positions along the blade for profile plane studies.
