The electrostatic and hydrodynamic boundary conditions of Domain B.

Boundary Electrostatic Hydrodynamic
A ϕr = 0 ur = 0
B ϕ = Vnozzle uz = Qcore/Acore
C ϕ = Vnozzle u = 0
D ϕ = Vnozzle uz = Qshell/Ashell
E ϕ = Vnozzle u = 0
F ϕz = 0 P = 0
G ϕ = Vright P = 0
H ϕ = Vbottom P = 0

The boundaries are labeled in Fig. 2. ϕ: voltage; u: velocity of fluid; p: pressure of fluid; Vnozzle: nozzle voltage; Vright: voltage profile determined from Domain A; Vbottom: bottom voltage determined from Domain A; Qcore: volumetric flow rate of core phase; Qshell: volumetric flow rate of shell phase; Acore: cross-sectional area of core channel; Ashell: cross-sectional area of shell channel. The subscripts r and z represent the r- and z-components, respectively.
