Popis: The results of experiments conducted to characterize droplet motion within electrohydro-dynamic fine sprays are examined in the context of providing information on the mixing of electrically-charged droplets. Two cases are considered: one involving droplet mixing between two electrohydrodynamic fine sprays, and the other droplet mixing within a single electrohydrodynamic fine spray. The results collectively support that droplet mixing can be enhanced by relatively simple means, such as increasing the charge density of the spray, decreasing the separation distance between two sprays, or locally modifying the applied electric field within the spray.
