A one-dimensional analysis of drop formation in a liquid jet is developed under the assumption that the axial velocity of the axisymmetric, nonviscous liquid jet remains independent of the radial coordinate. The resulting equations are used for both linear and nonlinear analyses. In the linear form, this model provides a stream stability relation comparable to that of Rayleigh; transient solutions are obtained for given initial conditions of an infinite stream. For the nonlinear equations, numerical simulation was done to study the satellite drop formation; with the present model, the satellite drop is always formed.
H. C. Lee (1974) studied this question.
