abstract = {Generation and manipulation of micrometer-sized liquid jets
is highly relevant for applications like sample delivery in
serial femtosecondcrystallography. A promising method
combines gas flow focusing with electrospraying but remains
underexplored due to numerical limita-tions regarding high
interfacial electric property gradients. This study
addresses this challenge by assessing different approaches
for electrohy-drodynamic (EHD) numerical treatment of
two-phase interfaces within the finite volume method and the
volume-of-fluid framework. A newgeometric mean interpolation
technique was developed to address the limitations of high
electric conductivity-ratio gas–liquid systems.
Thetechnique was related to the established EHD modeling
approaches, comprising two electric force implementations
and two electric propertyinterpolation methods. Three
verification tests involving no flow conditions demonstrated
consistent performance of all solvers regarding theelectric
equations, and they were charge-conservative. Validation on
a free boundary problem experiment revealed varying levels
of agree-ment. Results show that the Coulomb-polarization
force implementation combined with weighted harmonic mean
interpolation provides themost accurate and physically
consistent modeling of electric forces at fluid interfaces,
followed by the novel geometric mean technique. Themodel
based on the Coulomb-polarization force is applied to
simulate electro-flow-focused jets, capturing the complex
interplay of hydrody-namic and electrostatic forces in a
high-velocity co-flow configuration. While weighted harmonic
mean interpolation yields the highest fidel-ity regarding
the electric force magnitude and electric charge position,
it fails for extremely low gas conductivities. The proposed
geometricmean interpolation provides a stable alternative
for simulating EHD two-phase flows, particularly in
configurations with large interfacial elec-tric property
gradients.},
