Suppression of Kelvin–Helmholtz instability by an electric field
Abstract
This study investigates the dynamics of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in perfectly dielectric fluids in the presence of a tangential electric field. The motion of the interface is described by a vortex sheet. We show that the interface is linearly stable for Re
