Abstract
This chapter discusses the flow of a heavy fluid and the effects of surface tension. For heavy fluids, the continuity equation and wall boundary conditions are the same as for weightless fluids. Given a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis, then in accordance with the Bernoulli integral, the boundary condition on a free surface where p is constant will be v2 + 2gy = constant. The first work on the jet flow of heavy fluids was done by Zhukovskii. Because jet theory problems are invariably characterized by nonlinear boundary conditions, the available methods of problem solution must first be considered before examining any specific problems. The chapter further discusses the influence of surface tension on free surface flows.
