Notes:
A new phenomenon of successive branching of a liquid jet emanating from a nozzle into the atmosphere has been reported [Phys. Fluids A 3, 241 (1991)]. It was observed that an intact jet can be made to bifurcate successively into a two-, three-, and multiple-pronged jet by oscillating the nozzle along its axis at a successively higher frequency. It is shown here that the observed multiple-pronged jet was actually multiple streams of droplets after the jet breakup generated by the lateral component of the nozzle oscillation, which was induced at the free end when the piezoelectric nozzle was axially vibrated. A plausible theoretical explanation of the formation of the multiple streams is given.
