Air entrainment by an inclined smooth water jet
Théophile Gaichies, Arnaud Antkowiak, Anniina Salonen +1
Air entrainment can occur when a water jet impacts a water/air interface, a process central in various real systems, ranging from dam spills to breaking waves. Despite its prevalen…

Capillary jet in a slab of foam
Théophile Gaichies, Bryan Giraud, Anniina Salonen +2
A capillary jet plunging into a quasi-2D slab of monodisperse foam of the same solution is studied experimentally. We show that the jet can have a drastic impact on the foam. At sm…

Effective water/water contact angle at the base of an impinging jet
Théophile Gaichies, Arnaud Antkowiak, Anniiina Salonen +1
The base of a jet impinging on an ultrapure water bath is studied experimentally. At the impact point, a train of capillary waves develops along the jet. By performing Particle Tra…
