Abstract
The theoretically calculated dependence of the sizes of the main and satellite droplets on the dimensionless wave number of the perturbation of the surface of the Newtonian fluid jet is proved experimentally. It is also shown that an increase in the fluid viscosity significantly changes the dynamics of development of capillary waves in the jet and the mechanism of formation of satellite droplets.
