Abstract The breakdown of a liquid jet is commonly considered as an effect of the surface tension. However, essential aspects of the boundary wave amplification and the final disintegration of velocity modulated jets can be explained by non-linear travelling time effects, which are of purely kinematic nature. The experiments are carried out on jets with radii between 1.2 to 2.5 mm and Weber numbers between 17 to 200. The experimental results are compared with a theoretical solution which neglects the surface tension.
