Figure 5

Measurements obtained from 125 numerical simulations (open symbols) and experiments conducted with the 6 liquids in Table 1 (solid symbols).

The labels indicate the value of β in the numerical simulations, as well as the liquid used in the experiments. The error bars in the numerical data correspond to a relative uncertainty of 20%. We plot the diameters measured in all the experimental realizations to appreciate the scattering of the results. (Left) Dimensionless diameter d/do of the first ejected droplet versus . The dashed line is the fit d/do = 0.6 ζd [Eq. (6)]. (Right) Electric charge q/qo transported by the first ejected droplet as a function of . The dashed line is the fit q/qo = 0.2 ζq [Eq. (6)].
