The Trajectory and Stability of a Spiralling Liquid Jet

Abstract

We examine a spiralling slender inviscid liquid jet with a curved centre line which emerges from a rotating orifice. The trajectory of this jet is determined using asymptotic methods, and the stability using a multiple scales approach. Some novel results will be presented and discussed.
