Summary
By means of a technique of micro-flash illumination, photographs are obtained of a water jet issuing from a straight nozzle. Three regimes of flow can be distinguished, each of which results in a special type of break-up into drops. The sinuous type and the type called ‘atomisation’ are discussed in the light of theory.
