Abstract
The nonlinear electrohydrodynamic Kelvin–Helmholtz instability of two superposed viscoelastic Walters B = dielectric
fluids in the presence of a tangential electric field is investigated in three dimensions using the potential flow analysis. The
method of multiple scales is used to obtain a dispersion relation for the linear problem, and a nonlinear Ginzburg–Landau
equation with complex coefficients for the nonlinear problem. The linear and nonlinear stability conditions are obtained and
discussed both analytically and numerically. In the linear stability analysis, we found that the fluid velocities and kinematic
viscosities have destabilizing effects, and the electric field, kinematic viscoelasticities, and surface tension have stabilizing
effects; and that the system in the three-dimensional disturbances is more stable than in the corresponding case of twodimensional disturbances. While in the nonlinear analysis, for both two- and three-dimensional disturbances, we found that the
fluid velocities, surface tension, and kinematic viscosities have destabilizing effects, and the electric field, kinematic viscoelasticities have stabilizing effects, and that the system in the three-dimensional disturbances is more unstable than its behavior in
the two-dimensional disturbances for most physical parameters except the kinematic viscosities
