Abstract

This article considers the influence of an electric field on the instability of the interface between two fluids, of which one is an ideal electrically conducting fluid, and another is an ideal dielectric fluid. Our study has been carried out under the assumption of small viscosity, which allows to use the boundary layer theory. The boundary layer structure is investigated using the method of multiple scales. Instability boundaries near the threshold of the instability are found analytically.
