This paper presents data showing the relationship of the jet velocity VJ, the wave velocity Vw = λf, and the droplet velocity Vd of a continuous, stimulated jet emanating from an orifice in a thin, flat plate. The jet
velocity measurement is nontrivially derived from the flow rate, as the jet diameter D is a function of VJ due to the presence of a dynamical meniscus at the orifice-jet boundary; λ is the measured wavelength of the surface deformation imposed on the jet at
a frequency, f. The droplet velocity is measured in a straightforward fashion. We find good agreement between the measured values for λf and those calculated from the simple velocity potential theory for cylindrical jets for λ/D < π. However, the same
theory predicts λf = VJ and VJ > Vd for λ/D > π, which we do not find to be strictly true. A possible factor for this discrepancy is that the surface deformation along the length of the stimulated jet
is monotonically increasing in amplitude, culminating in droplet formation and break-off. This finding strongly violates the assumption of a uniform and infinitesimal deformation in the simple theory.
