Abstract

We present an analysis of the pressure distribution in a bucket due to an incident water jet. The pressure distribution on a semispherical bucket resulting from momentum variation in ajet of known velocity distribution was evaluated as the sum of two components: jet impact on the bucket, and flow along the surface of the bucket following collision. The distribution of the pressure had a high plateau region concerning the potential core in the central region local to the jet with a singularity at its central point. To confirm the validity of the theoretical results, the experiment was conducted. Theoretical calculations were found to agree with experimental results from measurement of force on an aluminum alloy semispherical bucket.
