1.1 introduction

Electrohydrodynamcis deals with fluid motion induced by electric fields.in mid 1960s GI Taylor introduced the leaky dieletric model to explain the behavior of droplets deformed by steady field,and JR Melcher used it extensively to develop electrohydrodynamic.and here we developed a Numerical model of electrohydrodynamic,the model concide the Taylor-Melcher Leaky Dielectric Model with VOF(volume of fraction) method.And the Numerical solver was created in OpenFOAM-1.5.

1.2 model Eqution

1.3 source code

1.4 how to install

compile the EHDTwoPhaseMixture first and then EHDFoam

1.5 test case
