Fluid Electrodynamics Bridging Fluid Mechanics and Electricity

Abstract

Jason Stokes*

Fluid electrodynamics is an interdisciplinary field that merges principles from fluid mechanics and electromagnetism. It explores the behavior of conducting fluids (such as plasmas, electrolytes, and liquid metals) under the influence of electric and magnetic fields. This emerging field has garnered significant attention due to its applications in various domains, including aerospace engineering, energy production, biomedical sciences, and environmental monitoring. In this article, we delve into the fundamentals of fluid electrodynamics, its theoretical underpinnings, experimental methodologies, and cutting-edge applications. By bridging the gap between fluid mechanics and electricity, fluid electrodynamics offers unique insights into complex phenomena and paves the way for innovative technologies. Fluid electrodynamics builds upon the foundational principles of fluid mechanics and electromagnetism. At its core, it involves the study of fluid flow and the interaction between fluid motion and electromagnetic fields. Maxwell's equations serve as the mathematical framework for describing the behavior of electric and magnetic fields in fluid mediums.
