Instability of a Jet: Deformation and Drops

This lecture discusses the instability of a jet, focusing on the deformation and breakup into drops. It covers the process of a jet breaking into drops, the formation of drops collected in gutters, and the recovery of heat from hot gases. The lecture explores the application of this phenomenon in various industrial processes, such as the manufacture of optical fibers and the collection of drinking water. It also delves into the dynamics of waves developing on the surface of water in different scenarios. The presentation includes the study of different flow regimes, the effects of surface tension, and the interaction of drops in the context of viscous fluids.
