Apparent Viscosity of a Charged Fluid

Abstract
Charges in a liquid or gas, under the influence of a self‐created or applied field, increase the viscous losses. The general equations for a macroscopic electrohydrodynamic treatment of this phenomenon are given. Steady‐state channel flow and a simple dynamic situation are theoretically investigated and compared with the magnetohydrodynamic cases. Some experiments are described.
