Abstract. There are several working models concerning the formation of EHD flows. In the context of every case, noncompensated (excessive) electric charge initiates the EHD flows. Active concentrator electrode is required for their origination. However, it is known that EHD flows are also available in homogenous electric fields. Objective of the studies was to assess the effect of different forms of electrodes on EHD flows. EHD flows have been analyzed and classified in the context of various electrode systems. Both areas and ion-molecular structural unit have been described. There are three areas of the major stream of the EHD flow: acceleration area, an area of stabilized velocity, and deceleration area. EHD flows are similar in terms of different electrode systems. TEHD model cannot describe the generation of volume charge. The experiments have shown that temperature gradient is not available within a zone of active electrode and EHD flows exist up to the freezing point of a liquid 

Keywords: a charge, EHD flow, fluid kinematics, excessive charge, dielectrics, ion-molecular structures, active electrode, central flow areas, acceleration area, deceleration area, similar flows.
