Abstract
This paper deals with chaotic charge transport in finite amplitude electroc onvection. In steady finite amplitude electroconvection there is an inner r egion in the convection cell that remains free of charge. When the liquid v elocity is time dependent, as it is always observed in experiments, this re gion is no longer free of charge. Lobe dynamics analysis is used to elucida te the mechanism of charge trapping. [S1063-651X(99)01101-0].
