 Electrostatic painting is one of the applications I studied during my PhD.

 and used this nice coupled problem to test different potential and mixed formulations
 of electrostatic equations.

 where $\mu_i$ is the ion mobility.
-The convection equation is integrated in time with an unconditionally stable implicit scheme and the electrostatic equations are solved at each time step. I implemented several electrostatic formulations to analyse their influence on the charge conservation: electric scalar potential ($\vec{e}=-\nabla V$), electric vector potential formulation with source field ($\vec{d}=\vec{d}_s+\nabla\times\vec{w}$) and mixed formulation ($\vec{d}$-$V$).

+It must be noted that electrostatic and magnetostatic mixed formulations have the same stability problems as Stokes equations when the shape functions do not satisfy the Babuska-Brezzi inf-sup condition.
-Fortunately, a stabilization technique developed in fluid mechanics (Pressure-Stabilized Petrov-Galerkin) works fine with Maxwell's equations as well.
