Flowing of magnetic fluid with free surface and drop formation

A liquid flow driven by surface tension and their tendency to decay into drops has been of great scientific interest. However little is known about this phenomenon in presence of another external driving force e.g. magnetic field in magnetic fluids (MF). Our work is devoted to the experimental study of the breakup length, the wavelength of jet perturbation and distribution of drop sizes in dependence on flow velocity for MF in magnetic field parallel and perpendicular to the jet.
