contents We analyze the stability of the coflow configuration. The experiments and the global stability analysis show that the emitted jet always destabilizes before the tapering conical meniscus. This implies that the parameter conditions at which polydisperse dripping arises cannot be determined from the linear stability analysis of the steady jetting mode. Transient simulations show that the linear superposition of decaying eigenmodes triggered by an initial perturbation can lead to the jet breakup. The breakup process significantly depends on the initial perturbation. These results question the validity of the linear stability analysis as applied to the coflowing and other similar configurations.
