fonograph is on a distinguished road
I am fluent noob,I want to simulate electrostatic fluid accelerator,thats the official name but I think its stupid and non-intuitive,I think corona discharge fan is much more fitting description.

Basically high voltage electrode ionize small portion of air atoms and these charged atoms in air are attracted by another electrode and as they fly toward the electrode they bump into neutral atoms,as result there is air blowing,its like normal fan,except no moving parts,just high voltage electrodes.

Simulating normal fans is easy becose its so widespread,but how to do this electrostatic corona fan I have no idea.I think this will probably need combined fluid + electrostatic field simulation.
