摘要：

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.
