“…Presented as Paper 87-2137 at the AIAA/SAE/ASME/ASEE 23rd Joint Propulsion Conference, San Diego, CA, June 29-July 2, 1987; received Sept. 4,1987; revision received July 7, 1989 In the theoretical analyses, the growth of initial perturbations on the liquid surface and the effects of liquid inertia, surface tension, and viscous and aerodynamic forces on the jet were considered. The earliest development of a predictive model for the jet breakup was initiated by Rayleigh.…”
