Nonlinear waves on the surface of a dielectric liquid in a strong tangential electric field
The nonlinear dynamics of the free surface of an ideal dielectric liquid in a
strong electric field is studied. The equation for the evolution of surface
electrohydrodynamic waves is derived in the approximation of small
surface-slope angles. It is established that the equation can be solved for
liquids with sufficiently high values of the permittivity. This makes it
possible to describe the interaction of the counter-propagating waves.Comment: 10 pages. accepted to Phys. Lett.
