Abstract

An obstacle in the path of a water jet emerging from a tap gives rise to a stationary wave pattern upstream of the obstacle. In this paper, the wavelengths and the damping coefficients of these waves are calculated for various jet radii and velocities. The calculations indicate that the wavelength decreases and the damping coefficient increases with increasing jet velocity, in qualitative agreement with observations.
