  We investigate the effects of dissipative air drag on the dynamics of
electrified jets in the initial stage of the electrospinning process. The main
idea is to use a Brownian noise to model air drag effects on the uniaxial
elongation of the jets. The developed numerical model is used to probe the
dynamics of electrified polymer jets at different conditions of air drag force,
showing that the dynamics of the charged jet is strongly biased by the presence
of air drag forces. This study provides prospective beneficial implications for
improving forthcoming electrospinning experiments.
