  • Abstract
    This paper proposes a coupled method of 3-D finite element method (FEM) and Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method for the analysis of a negative ion that is produced by electrostatic atomization. In this method, the electric field is calculated by FEM and the fluid motion equation of a drop of water is calculated by the MPS method. The validity of this analysis method is verified by comparison with an experiment.
