Extract

The study of electrostatic effects on the motion of fluids goes back to the work of Rayleigh (l) who discussed the effect of surface charges on the vibration of spherical drops, and Bassett (2) who studied the effect of a radial electric field on the stability of a jet. The subject has recently been taken up again by Melcher (3) and Crowley (4), and the author became interested in the subject through the monograph of the former author in which a wide variety of wave problems are described.
