Abstract

Electrohydrodynamic induction pumping of a stratified liquid/vapor medium is quantitatively assessed utilizing Laser Doppler Anemometry. Data are presented suggesting that pumping is due to both interfacial and bulk effects. Values of turbulence intensity associated with this type of flow are briefly discussed for the various cases studied. [S0022-1481(00)00401-1]
