Abstract We investigate the behaviour of a liquid jet stimulated by pressure disturbances using a photometric measurement of the jet shadow width. Two apparatuses involving lights of different nature are utilized and measurements are taken from the exit of the nozzle to drop breakoff for different operating conditions. Fourier analysis is applied to characterize the spatial evolution of the jet shape. In contrast to previous studies where only amplitudes of the Fourier modes are reported, phase shifts are also recovered for low and high initial perturbations. We show that the spatial reconstruction of the jet from the temporal Fourier analysis at different abscissae is in excellent agreement with the experimental profiles
