When a droplet with a relatively high density falls into a miscible solution with a relatively low density, the droplet breaks up spontaneously. We investigated the numberof breakup in experiments with several density differencesbetween two solutions, viscosities, and droplet radii. The mode numberhas a distribution even under the same experimental conditions. We propose a simple model of mode selection based on the linear Rayleigh-Taylor instability and the growing radius of a vortex ring deformed from the droplet. The model provides the probability distributionand a relationship between the nondimensional parameterand the average value of, which are consistent with experimental results.
