Keywords: capillary instability of a viscous jet, drop formation, slender jet analysis, surface tension modulation, viscous jet instability
Viscous liquid jets are inherently unstable, and drop formation can be induced by various means including surface tension modulation. Furthermore, surface tension is temperature dependent, and can be modulated by locally heating the surface of the jet as
