    • Analysis of partial electrocoalescence by Level-Set and finite element methods 

      Vivacqua, V.; Ghadiri, M.; Abdullah, A. M.; Hassanpour, A.; Al-Marri, M. J.; ... more authors ( Institution of Chemical Engineers , 2016 , Article)
      The coalescence of a water drop in a dieletric oil phase at a water layer interface in the presence of an electric field is simulated by solving the Navier Stokes and charge conservation equations with the finite element ...

    • Electrocoalescence of water drop trains in oil under constant and pulsatile electric fields 

      Vivacqua, V.; Mhatre, S.; Ghadiri, M.; Abdullah, A.M.; Hassanpour, A.; ... more authors ( Institution of Chemical Engineers , 2015 , Article)
      This study addresses the effectiveness of constant and pulsed DC fields in promoting coalescence of dispersed water drops in an oil-continuous phase. For this purpose, a train of drops of relatively uniform size is injected ...

    • Electrostatic phase separation: A review 

      Mhatre, S.; Vivacqua, V.; Ghadiri, M.; Abdullah, A.M.; Al-Marri, M.J.; ... more authors ( Institution of Chemical Engineers , 2015 , Article Review)
      The current understanding and developments in the electrostatic phase separation are reviewed. The literature covers predominantly two immiscible and inter-dispersed liquids following the last review on the topic some 15 ...
