Studies of liquid jet impacts onto a deep liquid pool are of great significance for a multitude of engineering and environmental applications. During jet impact, the free surface of the pool deforms and a cavity is generated.…
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…
