Femtosecond laser-induced cavitation seeds liquid-jet breakup beyond the Rayleigh-Plateau stability limit

Sourabh Singh, Tamanna, S. Sree Harsha +1

The Rayleigh-Plateau instability predicts that infinitesimal perturbations of a liquid jet grow only for kR < 1, with kR = 1 marking the classical stability boundary. Here, we show…
