Description
The surface roughness of the free surface of inviscid liquids excited by thermal energy is proportional to the thermal energy and is inversely proportional to the surface tension of the liquid at a constant frequency. The surface wave of the liquid becomes unstable above a critical acceleration and the critical acceleration to make drops out of the liquid surface is predicted using the Rayleigh-Taylor instability theory. The delayed drop ejection from the surface of the liquid since the applied acceleration, called drop formation time, is inversely proportional to the square root of the difference between the applied acceleration and the critical acceleration
