The Influence of Twist on the Motion of Straight Elliptical Jets.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with a fairly detailed analysis of the motion of a straight elliptical jet of an incompressible, inviscid fluid in which the jet is allowed to twist along its axis. Our study, which includes the effects of gravity and surface tension, utilizes the nonlinear differential equations of the one-dimensional theory of a directed fluid jet. A number of theorems are proved pertaining to the motion of a twisted elliptical jet and some special solutions are obtained which illustrate the influence of twist. (Author)
