Formation of an axisymmetric liquid jet from an orifice into another immiscible liquid, and its breakup into drops are studied using direct numerical simulations. A front tracking/finite difference method is used to track unsteady motion of the liquid-liquid interface. When the Weber number is high (We > 2) and the viscosity ratio is unity, the resulting drops break off due to capillary wave instability. Double-node breakup, where two-wave length of the most unstable wave becomes one drop, is often observed, and it is the one of the causes why linear stability theory fails to predict the size of the drops in practical situations.
