Examples of jet

jet
At least these qualitative features of a real jet are modelled effectively.
The influence on the measured radiation of the angle formed by the jet axis with the line of sight is clear.
Three independent branches can be seen: degeneracy has been removed by breaking symmetry through displacement of one of the jets.
This mode tends to produce droplets of diameters much smaller than that of the jet.
The flow structure of the combined jet exhibits all characteristics of a single-jet flow except for an altered evolution of the turbulence toward self-preservation.
The strong jets observed in this study most likely have their origin in the conversion of potential energy to vertical kinetic energy.
Then the vertical fluid movement is most accelerated along the rear axis, generating a vertical jet.
Then the velocity of the vertical jet is expected to become generally larger with increasing stratification.
This appears reasonable and necessary since the jet flow is supersonic.
Second, the non-uniformity is strongly decreased in the presence of the gas jet.
The start of data acquisition was delayed until the jet had established a steady state.
They performed an extensive set of experiments studying steady and unsteady viscous jet behaviour.
Its rigid anti-vibration structure enables several technologies to be incorporated: laser, water jet, machining spindles or non-destructive controls.
The result is that expected from elementary dimensional arguments, but the case of the wall jets is more interesting.
This fluid flows around the sphere equator and is ejected as a jet, followed by a vortex jump, into the downstream slug.
