Faraday waves under perpendicular electric field and their application to the walking droplet phenomenon

Vertically oscillating fluid surfaces have been a subject extensively studied in the past, as well as surface instabilities produced by electrohydrodynamic waves in similar configurations. In the present work, the unification of both effects and their consequences on the stability of the surface. Given the versatility of electromagnetic fields, application to the phenomenon of walking droplets is suggested; the dispersion relation and bouncing regimes of and the force on the droplets are revisited, and feasible experimental configurations are proposed.
