Quite instructive work on the role played by the Rayleigh–Plateau instability in determining the critical length of viscous liquid columns, before they snap under the influence of gravity. Moreover, it has been shown that the same instability comes into effect in the process of nuclear fission of a nucleus (considered a drop of liquid), where the repulsive Coulomb force acts as the stretching force.
