Equilibrium shape of a dielectric droplet in an electric field Nicholas Goble - Illinois Wesleyan University Dr. Philip Taylor - Case Western Reserve University
Research problem droplet of dielectric fluid
Research problem droplet of dielectric fluid uniform electric field When do conical tips form?
Methods: Shape approximation The shape of the droplet is approximated by  .
Methods: Energy calculation Total Energy = Surface Energy Electrostatic Energy +
Methods: Energy calculation Total Energy = Surface Energy Electrostatic Energy + Surface Energy Volume Surface Energy Density = x
Methods: Energy calculation Total Energy = Surface Energy Electrostatic Energy + Surface Energy Volume Surface Energy Density = x
Methods: Optimization
Results: Shape of Droplet For a given dielectric constant and electric field, we are able to find the shape of the droplet.
Results: Development of Points When pointed ends form, a 1 =0.  To determine whether the development of points is gradual or sudden, we study how a 1  changes with E 0 .
Results: Development of Points As the bin count increases, the electric field at which the droplet forms points approach a real value.
Results: Development of Points
Results: Hysteresis By changing the point at where we search for a minimum, we find different local minima, which indicates hysteresis.
Results: Critical Dielectric Constant Our approach to this problem finds no critical dielectric constant below which no points develop.  However, this may be due to the third-order polynomial approximation.
Results: Angle of Pointed Ends The relationship between the electric field and the angle of the pointed ends  is  not  linear.
Conclusion Our methods have given us an expression for a dielectric droplet in an electric field. Future goals include using a fourth-order polynomial in hopes of finding a critical dielectric constant. We are also able to explore the angle of the points, hysteresis, and the formation of conical tips.
