Abstract

A Symposium on Electrohydrodynamics sponsored by the International Unions of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and of Pure and Applied Physics was convened at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, from 31 March to 1–2 April 1969. Authors from eight countries presented 44 papers to an invited audience of 112. The presentations illustrated the spectrum of scientific and engineering interests in the interactions of electric fields and moving fluids. Papers were grouped in seven sessions with the following titles: Steady flows; Bulk stability and dynamics; Interfacial dynamics: Static and steady-flow equilibria; Interfacial dynamics and stability: Drops; Basic formulation; Generation and other applications; Aerosol charging and dynamics. It is expected that the majority of authors will publish their papers in the formal literature. This brief review gives only an over-view of the Symposium as seen by the author.
