Near the central engine, many astrophysical jets are expected to rotate about their axis. Further out they are expected to go through the processes of reconfinement and recollimation. In both these cases, the flow streams along a concave…
A small drop that splashes into a deep liquid sometimes reappears as a small rising jet, for example when a water drop splashes into a pool or when coffee drips into a cup. Here we describe that the growing and rising jet continuously…
We present an analytical solution of a highly magnetized jet/wind flow. The left side of the general force-free jet/wind equation (the "pulsar" equation) is separated into a rotating and a nonrotating term. The two equations with either…
Capillary jetting of a fluid dispersed into another immiscible phase is usually limited by a critical Capillary number, a function of the Reynolds number and the fluid properties ratios. Critical conditions are set when the minimum…
Relativistic jets, or highly collimated and fast-moving outflows, are endemic to many astrophysical phenomena. The jets produced by gamma-ray bursts and tidal disruption events are accompanied by the accretion of material onto a black hole…
In this paper, we proved the well-posedness theory of compressible subsonic jet flows for two-dimensional steady Euler system with {\it general} incoming horizontal velocity as long as the flux is larger than a critical value. One of the…
A protostellar jet and outflow are calculated for \sim 270 yr following the protostar formation using a three dimensional magnetohydrodynamics simulation, in which both the protostar and its parent cloud are spatially resolved. A…
A stationary viscous jet falling from an oriented nozzle onto a moving surface is studied, both theoretically and experimentally. We distinguish three flow regimes and classify them by the convexity of the jet shape (concave, vertical and…
We present a classification of energy flow variables for highly collimated jets. Observables are constructed by taking moments of the energy flow and forming scalars of a suitable Lorentz subgroup. The jet shapes are naturally arranged in…
In many environmental flows, an air-water free surface interacts with a turbulent flow in the water phase. To mimic this situation, we propose an original experimental setup, based on the Randomly Actuated Synthetic Jet Array (RASJA)…
A fluid jet with a finite angular velocity is subject to centripetal forces in addition to surface tension forces. At fixed angular momentum, centripetal forces become large when the radius of the jet goes to zero. We study the possible…
In this paper, we show that for given Bernoulli function and entropy function at the upstream, if the incoming mass flux is within a suitable range, then there exists a unique outer pressure such that smooth subsonic three-dimensional…
It is generally accepted that the Worthington jet occurs when a droplet impacts onto a liquid pool. However, in this experimental study of the impact of viscous droplets onto a less-viscous liquid pool, we identify another jet besides the…
We present a new, approximate method for modelling the acceleration and collimation of relativistic jets in the presence of gravity. This method is self-similar throughout the computational domain where gravitational effects are negligible…
The present paper is devoted to the mixing and heat transfer features of mutually immiscible liquids in the two-fluid turbulent heterogeneous jet flow. Many natural and technical processes deal with the turbulent jets of mutually immiscible…
We present an experimental study of reactive control of turbulent jets. We target axisymmetric disturbances associated with coherent structures, which are known to underpin the peak sound radiation of turbulent jets. We first consider a…
The sprinkler pivots on a bearing on top of its threaded attachment nut. It is driven in a circular motion by a spring-loaded arm pushed back by the water stream which returns to "impact" the stream. The water stream can thus rotate around…
In the fluid transport of particles, it is generally expected that heavy particles carried by a laminar fluid flow moving downward will also move downward. We establish a theory to show, however, that particles can be dynamically levitated…
We study the structures of ultra-relativistic jets injected into the intracluster medium (ICM) and the associated flow dynamics, such as shocks, velocity shear, and turbulence, through three-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamic (RHD)…
A magnetohydrodynamic model is constructed for a cylindrical jet immersed in an external uniform magnetic field. It is shown that, as in the force-free case, the total electric current within the jet can be zero. The particle energetics and…
