Astrophysical jets are often observed as bent or curved structures. We also know that the different jet sources may be binary in nature, which may lead to a regular, periodic motion of the jet nozzle, an orbital motion or precession. Here,…

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…
