Agitation of a liquid in a strong external electric field

This article considers the condition for instability of the surface waves in a liquid system in a strong external electric field. As a result of the viscosity, such surface waves lead to vigorous volume agitation, accelerating chemical and physicochemical processes occurring in the system.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 17, No. 6, pp. 981–988, December, 1969.
