I sometimes find that in areas of low pressure the water jet makes a rotation of pi / 2, before it is close to the ground and is fragmenting Like a wire twisted Thank you

Fascinating that Rayleigh was looking at this and Einstein first published on capillary action.

thank you very much. It's pretty discouraging for some1 new to the field when one mainly gets paper results when searching for plateau rayleigh

0:56 actually it's "pi" :) great explanation btw. What about a gas column in a material?

Because the water column is pulled apart by gravity and not confined like it would be in a contracting tube.

no that is the old belief hundred of years ago. Surface tension is the responsible

How come the pressure is high at the pinch point? Bernouilli theorem says opposite!
@derioderio10 жыл бұрын
Bernoulli's theorem doesn't apply here, because as Julian Hammer also said, the water isn't flowing in a pipe, but it is falling in free-fall. What's causing the high and low pressure regions is the Laplace pressure, which determines the pressure across a curved free surface (i.e. a water droplet or column).

What causes the perturbations to start in the column? Laplace pressure or varicose perturbation?

Fantastic video. Thanks for making it. Superbly explained the phenomenon of droplet formation.
