Abstract :
Fluid circulation/mixing inside an enclosure, non-mechanically, is of significant importance in various applications. This study investigates, theoretically, the circulation of an isothermal fluid inside an enclosure based on the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) conduction phenomenon. The theoretical model and the numerical solutions are presented in dimensionless forms to illustrate the effects of the controlling parameters on the induced flow.
