The viscosity ratio is shown to have a damping effect on both the modes of perturbation. However the effect was found more pronounced for the m=1 mode as compared to m=1 mode. Investigating the effect of both E0 and λ simultaneously, an operating diagram is generated, which clearly shows the regions of dominance of the two modes for a range of electric field and viscosity ratio values. }, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Molecular Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {6}, year = {2012}, pages = {522 - 527}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9996923}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/66}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 66, 2012}, }
