(2014). The breakup length of harmonically stimulated capillary jets. Applied Physics Letters, 105, 094104-1-094104-4.0003-6951https://hdl.handle.net/11441/80135A simple transfer function that can predict the breakup length of a pressure-modulated capillary jet is rigorously deduced from first principles. In this paper, the initial velocity modulation of a stimulated jet is given in terms of its pressure amplitude by means of a generalized Bernoulli equation, which in turn is connected to the breakup time through a two-mode linear analysis. The predicted breakup length is compared against experimental results with water jets emerging from a thin 1 mm-diameter orifice for different pressure modulations. These experiments agree better with the presented theoretical prediction than with a previously established model.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1063/1.4894576
