Rayleigh analyzed the morphological instability of cylindrical fluid jets under the influence of surface tension forces in 1878 (1) and found that an infinitely long cylindrical jet will eventually break up into a row of spherical droplets (Fig. 11.1), in much the same way as when a narrow stream of water flows from a faucett. This type of breakup, referred to as Rayleigh instability, is driven by a reduction in surface energy and is based on the fact that a sphere has a lower surface area than a cylinder of the same volume. Because mass must be redistri-...
