The effects of an ununiform electric field on bubble behaviours such as bubble growth ,deformation and detachment are investigated experimentally.Experimental results show that the bubble elongated along the direction of the electric field.The bubble’s aspect ratio is increased with the increasing of electric field intensity and the ellipse sphere shape is more evident than without electric field,while its departure volume is decreased with that.The case is the bubble comes under the electric stress.The electric stress compressed the bubble in the equatorial direction and extened the bubble along the axial direction.The bubble behaviours influenced in the ununiform electric field is more evident than the uniform electric field.

Steady flows of a fluid of slight electrical conductivity under the influence of an applied electric field intensity are often unstable. A study is described to illustrate with experiments and an analytical model the fundamental aspects of a wide range of instabilities that are characterized by the incipience of steady cellular convection as the electric Hartmann number H a e = ∈ E /√(μσ) is of the order of unity (∈ is the permittivity, E the imposed electric field intensity, μ the viscosity, and σ the electrical conductivity). A non-uniform electric field is used to induce an unstable configuration of surface charge and electric field intensity at a planar interface. The resulting instability leads to cellular convection in the plane of the interface. Predictions of the electric Hartmann number and wavelength for incipience of instability compare favourably to measurements. The dependence of the measured cellular convection velocity, resulting from the instability, on electric Hartmann number and electric Reynolds number are also in satisfactory agreement with the predictions from the simple model.

The effect of a DC electric field on the formation and the characteristics of a nitrogen bubble injected from an orifice were studied experimentally and theoretically. This study was the first to divide the bubble growth process into four stages (waiting, expansion, deformation and detachment) according to the variation of the bubble shape in order to analyze the bubble behavior in the electric field. During the waiting stage, the waiting interval decreases significantly as the electric field strength rises. In the expansion stage, the minor axis reaches a maximum that decreases with increasing the electric field strength. Within the deformation stage, the major axis achieves its maximum and so does the aspect ratio. As the electric field strength rises, both the maximums of the major axis and the aspect ratio increase. At the detachment stage, as the electric field strength is intensified, the major axis lengthens, the minor axis shortens and the aspect ratio lengthens. From the waiting stage to the detachment stage, the effect of the electric field on the major axis of the bubble is marginal, while with increasing the electric field strength, the minor axis decreases distinctly and thus the aspect ratio increases. To employ the four-stage model, the bubble growth process was analyzed in detail under the electric field. The electric stress exerted on the bubble surface was calculated. The results show that the electric stress compresses the bubble equator and elongates the poles of the bubble, causing the bubble to elongate along the electric field direction.

The problem of the longitudinal temperature distribution was solved and the bearing of the temperature profiles on the qualitative characteristics of the zones and on the interpretation of the record of the separation obtained from a universal detector was considered. Two approximative physical models were applied to the solution: in the first model, the temperature dependences of the mobilities are taken into account, the continuous character of the electric field intensity at the boundary being neglected; in the other model, the continuous character of the electric field intensity is allowed for. From a comparison of the two models it follows that in practice, the variations of the mobilities with the temperature are the principal factor affecting the shape of the temperature profiles, the assumption of a discontinuous jump of the electric field intensity at the boundary being a good approximation to the reality. It was deduced theoretically and verified experimentally that the longitudinal profiles can appreciably affect the longitudinal variation of the effective mobilities in the zone, with an infavourable influence upon the qualitative interpretation of the record. Pronounced effects can appear during the analyses of the minor components, where in the corresponding short zone a temperature distribution occurs due to the influence of the temperatures of the neighbouring zones such that the temperature in the zone of interest in fact does not attain a constant value in axial direction. The minor component does not possess the steady-state mobility throughout the zone, which makes the identification of the zone rather difficult.

We conducted a theoretical study on the properties of a polaron with electron-LO phonon strong-coupling in a cylindrical quantum dot under an electric field using linear combination operator and unitary transformation methods. The changing relations between the ground state energy of the polaron in the quantum dot and the electric field intensity, restricted intensity, and cylindrical height were derived. The numerical results show that the polar of the quantum dot is enlarged with increasing restricted intensity and decreasing cylindrical height, and with cylindrical height at 0 ~ 5 nm , the polar of the quantum dot is strongest. The ground state energy decreases with increasing electric field intensity, and at the moment of just adding electric field, quantum polarization is strongest.

Ceramic outdoor insulators play an important role in electrical insulation and mechanical support because of good chemical and thermal stability, which have been widely used in power systems. However, the brittleness and surface discharge of ceramic material greatly limit the application of ceramic insulators. From the perspective of sintering technology, flash sintering technology is used to improve the performance of ceramic insulators. In this paper, the simulation model of producing the ceramic insulator by the flash sintering technology was set up. Material Studio was used to study the influence of electric field intensity and temperature on the alumina unit cell. COMSOL was used to study the influence of electric field intensity and current density on sintering speed, density and grain size. Obtained results showed that under high temperature and high voltage, the volume of the unit cell becomes smaller and the atoms are arranged more closely. The increase of current density can result in higher ceramic density and larger grain size. With the electric field intensity increasing, incubation time shows a decreasing tendency and energy consumption is reduced. Ceramic insulators with a higher uniform structure and a smaller grain size can show better dielectric performance and higher flashover voltage.

Terahertz waves are located in the frequency band between radio waves and light, and they are being considered for various applications as a light source. Generally, the use of light requires focusing; however, when a terahertz wave is irradiated onto a small detector or a small measurement sample, its wavelength, which is much longer than that of visible light, causes problems. The diffraction limit may make it impossible to focus the terahertz light down to the desired range by using common lenses. The Bull’s Eye structure, which is a plasmonic structure, is a promising tool for focusing the terahertz light beyond the diffraction limit and into the sub-wavelength region. By utilizing the surface plasmon propagation, the electric field intensity and transmission coefficient can be enhanced. In this study, we improved the electric field intensity and light focusing in a small region by adapting the solid immersion method (SIM) from our previous study, which had a frequency-tunable nonconcentric Bull’s Eye structure. Through electromagnetic field analysis, the electric field intensity was confirmed to be approximately 20 times higher than that of the case without the SIM, and the transmission measurements confirmed that the transmission through an aperture had a gap of 1/20 that of the wavelength. This fabricated device can be used in imaging and sensing applications because of the close contact between the transmission aperture and the measurement sample.

According to the characteristics of the polarizability in frequency domain of three common models of dispersive media, the relation between the polarization vector and electric field intensity is converted into a time domain differential equation of second order with the polarization vector by using the conversion from frequency to time domain. Newmarkβγdifference method is employed to solve this equation. The electric field intensity to polarizability recursion is derived, and the electric flux to electric field intensity recursion is obtained by constitutive relation. Then FDTD iterative computation in time domain of electric and magnetic field components in dispersive medium is completed. By analyzing the solution stability of the above differential equation using central difference method, it is proved that this method has more advantages in the selection of time step. Theoretical analyses and numerical results demonstrate that this method is a general algorithm and it has advantages of higher accuracy and stability over the algorithms based on central difference method.
