Abstract
A mathematical model of instability and disintegration of a gas jet in a magnetic fluid in an external magnetic field directed along the jet axis is formulated and investigated. Conditions under which jet surface perturbations become unstable and lead to disintegration of the jet into individual gas bubbles are found. It is shown that the dimensions of the bubbles developed increase with strengthening of the magnetic field, while the bubble growth rate and the appearance frequency decrease. The problem is of interest in connection with studying the magnetic liquid boiling.
