Electric-field-mediated jet formation from the bubble bursting above a free surface at low Ohnesorge number
We numerically investigate the dynamics of bubble bursting affected by a uniform electric field. Our findings indicate that the electric field modifies both the cavity collapse and jet pinch-off processes by disrupting the typically observed self-similar behavior. This study provides a detailed analysis of how the electric field affects the mechanisms of jet pinch-off, local curvature, wavelength and energy distribution. These insights have significant implications for designing at small scales.
