The free-surface impact of solid objects has been investigated for well over a century. This
canonical problem is influenced by many physical parameters, including projectile …

Drip**, jetting and tip streaming have been studied up to a certain point separately by both
fluid mechanics and microfluidics communities, the former focusing on fundamental aspects …

Jets, ie collimated streams of matter, occur from the microscale up to the large-scale
structure of the universe. Our focus will be mostly on surface tension effects, which result …

Capillarity is the familiar manifestation of the cohesion of liquids. Since Laplace (Traité de
mécanique céleste, vol. IV, supplément au livre X: Sur l'action capillaire, 1805, pp. 1–65), we …

The interaction of two laser-induced bubbles in bulk water is investigated. The strength and
direction of the emerging liquid jets can be controlled by adjusting the relative bubble …

This paper describes the production of thin, focused microjets with velocities of up to 850 m/s
by the rapid vaporization of a small mass of liquid in an open liquid-filled capillary. The …

We study the dynamics of cavitation bubbles and induced jets in a thin liquid gap bounded
by two rigid walls. The bubbles are generated experimentally with a focused laser pulse and …

This study gives insights into the interfacial instability of water droplets through a
combination of laboratory experiments, numerical simulations and analytical modelling. An …

A rapidly growing bubble close to a free surface induces jetting: a central jet protruding
outwards and a crown surrounding it at later stages. While the formation mechanism of the …

At the beginning of the last century Worthington and Cole discovered that the high-speed
jets ejected after the impact of an axisymmetric solid on a liquid surface are intimately …
