    • AC Electric Fields Drive Steady Flows in Flames 

      Drews, Aaron M.; Cademartiri, Ludovico; Chemama, Michael Leopold; Brenner, Michael P.; Whitesides, George M.; Bishop, Kyle J. M. (American Physical Society (APS), 2012)
      We show that time-oscillating electric fields applied to plasmas present in flames create steady flows of gas. Ions generated within the flame move in the field and migrate a distance δ before recombining; the net flow of ...

    • Flames, Splashes and Microdroplets: A Mathematical Approach to Three Fluid Dynamics Problems 

      Chemama, Michael Leopold (2015-01-13)
      Three different problems in fluid mechanics are presented in this thesis. The first one deals with the mechanism behind the extinction of a flame by an alternating electric field. A simple model for the interaction between ...
