Abstract: | The characteristics of the forced capillary breakup (FCB) of liquid jets have been investigated over a broad range of variation of the breakup parameters: jet orifice diameter (34–527 m), flow rate (10–5–1 cm3/sec), and excitation amplitude and frequency. The theory is compared with experiment.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 53–61, March–April, 1988.The authors are grateful to E. V.
