Influence of the Jet End Shape at the Jet Impact on the Liquid Surface
The paper presents the results of a numerical simulation of water jet (250 m/s) impact onto the surface of motionless liquid (water).The main attention has been paid to the influence of the jet end shape on the liquid dynamics in the vicinity of the impact site.This is of interest for the applications characterized by the destructive action of a li
