This corrigendum provides a brief derivation that yields corrections to the migration speed of the drop ((5.115) and (5.116)) in Mori & Young Reference Mori and Young2018). We conclude that the velocity of the droplet migration is proportional to $\phi ^\varDelta E$ for small Galvani potentials $\phi ^\varDelta$. The original conclusion, that this is not necessarily the case, is revised.
1. Corrections in Appendix B and Chapter 5
The corrected equation (B.26) reads
The corrected equation (5.87) reads
The $h^{ij}$-terms result from the expansion of the Coulomb-force term $\hat {g}^{ij} \tilde {q} ({\partial \tilde {\phi }}/{\partial \eta ^j})$ using the basic expansions of $\tilde {q}$ and $\tilde {\phi }$ and the expansion of the metric
Note that $h^{ij}$ and $\tilde {h}^{ij}$ are not equal to the inverses of $h_{ij}$ and $\tilde {h}_{ij}$ as defined in (B2-3) respectively.
The expansion of the force term thus reads
With these corrections we find that $p_{-2}$ does not depend on $\eta$, the term ${\tilde {p}_{-2}}/{\partial \eta ^j}$ in (1.1) and (1.2) vanishes. The corrected equation (5.27) now reads
As a result the corrected equation (5.32) becomes
and the corrected equation (5.33) is
Let us turn back to (1.2). We use (5.90) to find the corrected version of (5.91). Note, that in the original paper a sign mistake occurred when deriving equation (5.91) with (5.90)
Using (5.10), (5.38) and (5.82), and exploiting ${\partial ^2 \tilde {\phi }_0}/{(\partial \eta ^j\partial \xi ')} = 0$, we obtain the correction of (5.92)
We integrate each of the six terms throughout the inner layer. The first four integrals were derived in the original paper. We here focus on the last two terms. The fifth integral is
Here, we have used decomposition (5.46). The last term is integrated as
For a spherical particle, the geometric relation
holds. Term VI cancels with the fourth integral. The effective shear stress jump (equivalent to 5.95) now reads
The term on the left-hand side is the jump in the hydrodynamic stress, the first term on the right-hand side the jump in the electric stress. Thus, the last term is the jump of the total stress.
2. Spherical drop under uniform electric field
The corrected equation (5.101) reads
The corrected equation (5.113) reads
The resulting migration velocity reads (cf. (5.115))
The corrected equation (5.116) reads
The term multiplying $\phi ^\varDelta E$ is positive. The migration velocity $V_{mgr}$ is proportional to $\phi ^\varDelta E$.
