FEATURES OF CAPILLARY BREAKUP OF A LIQUID JET AT OHNESORGE NUMBERS LARGER THAN UNITY

A theoretical study has been made of the forced capillary breakup of a jet of viscous liquid at a value of the Ohnesorge number larger than unity. The regions of breakup of the jet without the formation of satellites have been determined. The dependences of the dimensions of main and satellite droplets on the wave number have been obtained for different Ohnesorge numbers.
