Abstract

An electrical method of detecting and measuring the breakup of liquid jets is applied to the turbulent case. New data produced by this means, together with previous data, support the conjecture that the theory and understanding that were developed in connexion with the breakup of laminar jets can be used as a guide for turbulent jets as well.
