The initial development of a jet caused by fluid, body and free surface interaction
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the problem of a rigid plate, inclined at an angle α ∈(0,1/2π) the horizontal, accelerating uniformly from rest into or away from a semi-infinite expanse of inviscid, incompressible fluid. This work generalized that of Needham, Chamberlain, and Billingham\(^1...
