Use of the Theory of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems to Study the Growth of Perturbations in an Excited Water Jet


ABSTRACT

An excited cylindrical water jet is studied by using a laser beam technique for jet shape characterizations. A laser sheet is scattered by a jet allowing to record highly-sampled time series to track the evolution of the jet diameter. With such a technique, the perturbation growth of an excited water jet is investigated from the needle to break-up. Time series are analyzed with tools borrowed to the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. We then show that the growth of modes close to those predicted by the Rayleigh theory arises when the perturbations due to the exciting system have vanished.
