Abstract
We describe the nonlinear evolution of a travelling wave disturbance on a spiralling slender inviscid jet which emerges from a rotating orifice neglecting gravity. One-dimensional equations are derived using asymptotic methods and solved numerically. Some results are presented for this nonlinear theory which is rather different from previous linear theories, showing the influence of surface tension and rotation on the breakup of the jets into droplets. Comparison with the experimental results shows good qualitative agreement.
