Abstract

We present the formulation of a two-phase, electrical-hydrodynamic model for the description of electrorheological fluid dynamics. By considering the energetics of (induced) dipole-dipole interaction between the solid particles in terms of a field variable n(x), we employ the Onsager principle to derive the relevant coupled hydrodynamic equations, together with a continuity equation for n(x). Numerical solution of the relevant equations yields predictions that display very realistic behaviors as seen experimentally.
