Abstract

A remarkably stable type of revolving hollow water jet was generated in a vertical pipe, fixed in the base of a large tank, by first establishing Borda free flow, in which the jet springs clear of the pipe wall. Swirl was then imparted to the oncoming water, and an air core formed in the jet which was of varicose shape with alternate swellings and contractions of both its inner and outer surfaces. The observed wavelengths are compared with the theory, in which inertia and surface tension but not viscosity and gravity are taken into account.
