We identify three fundamental regions, each governed by distinct scaling laws and dominant physical mechanisms: (i) the transition region, characterised by the balances that fix the emitted current; (ii) the charge convection-dominated region, where surface charge transport dominates total charge transport and the Taylor field drives jet acceleration; and (iii) the ballistic region, where the jet attains a fixed cylindrical scale before undergoing Rayleigh breakup into charged droplets. This refined theoretical framework harmonises existing models, particularly those using the Taylor–Melcher leaky dielectric model as an electrokinetic approximation for SCJ-ES. Notably, our newly proposed spatial scales achieve a remarkable collapse of published experimental SCJ-ES jet profiles. We also apply this framework to study the charge of resulting droplets using extensive literature data, observing significant differences between weak and strong electrolytes, consistent with recent findings.Cambridge University PressIngeniería Aeroespacial y Mecánica de FluidosMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICIU).
