Abstract

The increments of instability of capillary waves with arbitrary symmetry (with arbitrary azimuthal numbers ) on the surface of a volume charged cylindrical jet of an ideal incompressible dielectric fluid moving relative to an ideal incompressible material dielectric medium are investigated. It is shown that at not too high velocities of the jet motion, with an increase in the volume charge density, the axisymmetric mode ( m=0) becomes unstable first, then the bending mode ( m=1), and then the bending-deformation mode (m=2 ).This sequence of realization of the instability of azimuthal modes and determines the patterns of fragmentation of charged jets in the experiments. At jet speeds comparable to the critical for the realization of aerodynamic instability, the first loses stability mode whis . For all azimuthal modes, the dependences of the maximum increments on the wave numbers are determined.
