Nonlinear deformations and nonlinear waves on charged and polarizable plane free surfaces

Resumo

The calculation procedure and the main results of the analytical and experimental investigations on the influence of an electric field on dielectric liquids with free surfaces in a weakly nonlinear approximation are presented. It is shown that both local and periodic nonlinear deformations and waves can be formed on the free surface. The behavior of free surfaces with the electric field intensity being varied has been studied.
