ELECTROHYDRODYNAMIC SPRAYING FUNCTIONING MODES - A CRITICAL-REVIEW

Abstract The multiplicity of electrohydrodynamic spraying functioning modes has been and still continues to be, a cause of misunderstanding. The modes observed in air (and observable also in vacuum) are reviewed and several results are compared with those of earlier work. For regimes other than dripping, a terminology is proposed, the main modes being designated: cone-jet, multijet, microdripping, simple jet, ramified jet (including fan configuration) and spindle (including harmonic spraying).
