We report on the shape taken by the interface of a liquid bath when hit by a smooth oblique steady jet. When the angle between the jet and the bath decreases below $50^\circ$, a cavity is formed in front of the jet. In the inertial regime…
One of the most prominent dynamical features of turbulent, rapidly-rotating convection is the formation of large-scale coherent structures, driven by Reynolds stresses resulting from the small-scale convective flows. In spherical geometry,…
Infrared continuum observations provide a means of investigating the physical composition of the dust in the ejecta and swept up medium of the Cas A supernova remnant. Using low resolution Spitzer IRS spectra (5-35 $\mu$m), and broad-band…
The jet shape is the fraction of the jet energy within a cone $r$ centered on the jet axis. We calculate the jet shape distribution at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy plus next-to-leading order (NLL$'$), accounting for logarithms of…
The radio supernova remnant W50 hosts at its center the peculiar galactic X-ray binary SS 433. It shows a central spherical structure with two `ears' which are supposed to be formed by the interaction of the precessing jets of SS 433 with…
The powerful FR II radio galaxy Cygnus A exhibits primary and secondary hotspots in each lobe. A 2 Msec Chandra X-ray image of Cygnus A has revealed an approximately circular hole, with a radius of 3.9 kpc, centered on the primary hotspot…
The base of a jet impinging on an ultrapure water bath is studied experimentally. At the impact point, a train of capillary waves develops along the jet. By performing Particle Tracking Velocity measurements, we show that there is a…
Elongated jets from young stellar objects typically present a nodular structure, formed by a chain of bright knots of enhanced emission with individual proper motions. Though it is generally accepted that internal shocks play an important…
Measurements of the magnetic field in the interplanetary medium, of the sunspots area, and of the heliospheric current sheet position, reveal a possible North-South asymmetry in the magnetic field of the Sun. We study the North-South…
The young stellar source HH 30 is a textbook example of an ionic optical jet originating from a disk in an edge-on system shown by the HST. It has a remnant envelope in $^{12}$CO observed by ALMA. The optical jet is characterized by its…
For jets, with great power comes great opportunity. The unprecedented center of mass energies available at the LHC open new windows on the QGP: we demonstrate that jet shape and jet cross section measurements become feasible as a new,…
A hydrodynamic model involving cooling gas in the stagnation region of a collimated outflow is proposed for the formation of the giant parsec-scale bipolar envelope that surrounds the planetary nebula KjPn 8. Analytical calculations and…
We report on proper motion measurements of the forward- and reverse-shock regions of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), including deceleration/acceleration measurements of the forward shock. The measurements combine 19 years of…
The amount of air entrained by vertical water jets impacting a large pool is revisited. To test available phenomenological models, new data on the jet deformation at impact and on the entrained air flow rate were collected both on a…
Liquid jets issued from a non-circular orifice exhibit oscillation owing to the surface tension. When the orifice has an $n$-fold rotational symmetry, a material cross section of the jet interchanges two symmetric shapes alternately. This…
On the Sun,jets in light bridges are frequently observed with high-resolution instruments.The respective roles played by convection and the magnetic field in triggering such jets are not yet clear.We report a small fan-shaped jet along a LB…
We present 3D hydrodynamical simulations of a precessing jet propagating inside a supernova remnant (SNR) shell, particularly applied to the W50-SS433 system in a search for the origin of its peculiar elongated morphology. Several runs were…
We present the first three-dimensional measurements of the velocity of various ejecta knots in Tycho's supernova remnant, known to result from a Type Ia explosion. Chandra X-ray observations over a 12-year baseline from 2003 to 2015 allow…
Relativistic jets of radio loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) produce highly directed, intense beams of radiation. A fraction of this beamed radiation scatters on the thermal plasma generally surrounding an AGN. The morphology of the…
Axis switching of a jet ejected from a rectangular nozzle affects flow mixing characteristics. To elucidate such a mixing mechanism, the axis switching and vortex structure deformation should be investigated in detail. This study performed…
