Abstract
The effect of finite amplitude on the stable and unstable states of a column of an ideal fluid of circular cross-section under the action of surface tension is studied. The method of solution is a formal extension of the linearized theory; it consists of assuming that the exact solution may be expanded in a power series of a small parameter characterizing the amplitude. The calculation is carried out to the point where the first non-trivial term of the finite amplitude effect is obtained. For the stable states, the result shows that the characteristic wavelength of a disturbance which appears to be stationary with respect to an observer is decreased by the finite amplitude effect. For the unstable states, it reveals that the growth rate depends not only on the wavelength and the magnitude but also on the type of disturbance imposed initially. The last result is a direct consequence of the fact that two independent types of initial disturbance, the disturbance of the velocity field and the disturbance of the free surface, may be imposed simultaneously on the jet.
