Abstract: Experimental data for the dispersion of a liquid using a curved-end thin rod partially immersed in it and oscillating with a high frequency are reported. Depending on immersion conditions, the finely dispersed phase of a liquid-droplet aerosol can be obtained by exciting capillary standing waves and generating large drops emitted from the end face of the rod in the form of a directed jet.
