This text provides a detailed overview of key concepts and terminology related to electrostatics and electrohydrodynamic flow. It begins with a comprehensive nomenclature section, defining various physical constants and parameters such as specific heat, displacement field, diffusion coefficient, electric field, and more. The nomenclature includes Greek symbols and subscripts that represent different physical properties, such as thermal expansion coefficient, ion mobility, and electrical conductivity, among others. The contents outline the structure of the book, starting with an introduction that sets the stage for the topics to be discussed. The first chapter delves into electrostatics, covering essential concepts like the Coulomb force, permittivity, and the properties of conductors, insulators, and dielectrics. It also introduces Gauss's Law, which is fundamental in understanding electric fields. The text further explores mobility and charge transport, emphasizing their significance in the context of electrohydrodynamic systems. Each section is meticulously organized, ensuring that readers can easily navigate through the complex interactions between electrostatics and fluid dynamics. This foundational knowledge is crucial for understanding the subsequent discussions on coupling and instability in electrohydrodynamic flows.
