Abstract
A new phenomenon of successive branchings of a liquid jet injected from a nozzle into the atmosphere is reported. It is observed that an intact jet can be made to bifurcate successively into a two‐, three‐, and multiple‐pronged jet by oscillating the nozzle along its axis at a successively higher critical frequency. While the two‐ and three‐pronged jets are found to be structurally stable in certain frequency ranges, the different branches in a multiple‐pronged jet appear to merge and split among themselves chaotically without any discernible periodicity.Keywords
