Investigation of electroconvective flow regimes in liquid dielectrics possessing unipolar injection conductivity

Isothermal electroconvection in a dielectric liquid arising in a plane-parallel electrode system due to unipolar injection of charges from the cathode is considered. Stationary flow regimes formed after the crisis of the equilibrium layer stability loss are numerically modeled. Variations of initial conditions yield two flow regimes providing comparatively higher volume charge densities in the first case near the cathode and in the second case near the anode. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 3–7, June, 2008.
