Abstract

The paper presents the results of experimental investigations of instability of liquid jets emanating from sharp-edge orifices into ambient air. The major impact has been paicl to the rneasurements of the jet structure and the distance beyond which the jet loses its continuity and is broken into liquid droplets. Investigations have been conductecl at various pressures of water in the orifice and its three diameters. The results have been compared against available data from literature including the own data obtained erlier for the contoured nozzles.
