Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 507, 203-212a..0022-1120https://hdl.handle.net/11441/102495A systematic dimensional rationale is proposed here to analyse the electrohydro- dynamic equations governing liquid electrospraying phenomena in the well-known steady cone-jet mode with no ambient discharges. As a result, a general, unified de- scription of the complete parametrical space for the emitted current and droplet size is given. Four main distinct subspaces, their relevant boundaries and corresponding scal- ing laws are identified. Laws already proposed fit in their appropriate region, and previously unknown laws are found. A closed solution for the electric current I when inertia and polarization forces dominate is obtained, in agreement with published experimental results.application/pdf11 p.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Electrohydro- dynamic equationsElectrosprayingElectrohydrodynamicsFluid dynamicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess10.1017/S0022112004008870
