Abstract
A statistical treatment is developed for the electrostatic transfer of particles from a powder bed to a pendent droplet during liquid marble and aggregate formation. The model uses Weibull statistics to calculate the probability of particle transfer events of a given size occurring, for the given electric field strength and geometry. This is used in Monte Carlo simulations of the transfer process. In this preliminary study, some of the most distinctive features of the experiments - transfer event size and spacing, scaling with driving potential are well-captured using physically plausible parameter values. Other features, such as denuding of the particle bed, are less well reproduced, and require refinement.
