Abstract
The breakup phenomena (drop and wave formation) which can be observed at moderate velocities were investigated theoretically. Rotation-symmetric disturbances lead to drop formation. The breakup time is constant for every liquid and jet thickness at low velocities; the breakup length increases with the velocity. Wave formation is explained by the influence of aerodynamic forces and theoretical laws are derived which agree in character with the experiments.
