Abstract
A numerical analysis of the dispersion equation for the capillary motion of a viscoelastic liquid is used to show that the growth rate of the instability of a charged free liquid surface increases substantially as the characteristic time for the relaxation of viscous stresses and the Tonks-Frenkel parameter increase. This instability is achieved in a bounded range of wave numbers whose width is also determined by the Tonks-Frenkel parameter.
