An account of experimental investigation into the effects of high amplitude high frequency mechanical vibration on the break-up characteristics of a liquid jet in air is given. The main phenomenon of imposed periodicity of drop spacing and uniformity of drop size is described, along with several other interesting phenomena. Graphical relationships between parameters such as vibration frequency, amplitude and break-up length are established. While the results largely confirm Rayleigh's original linear analysis with respect to the wavelength of maximum instability, considerable discrepancy is revealed in the magnitude of the amplification factor and considerable departure from linearity is indicated.
Crane et al. (1964) studied this question.
