| Abstract: | The formation dynamics is studied for a singular profile of a surface of an ideal conducting fluid in an electric field. Self-similar solutions of electrohydrodynamic equations describing the fundamental process of formation of surface conic cusps with angles close to the Taylor cone angle 98.6° are obtained. The behavior of physical quantities (field strength, fluid velocity, surface curvature) near the singularity is established. |
