SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the dynamics of water fountains influenced by air dilatation and temperature effects. The user seeks assistance with the complex calculations involved in water propulsion and the subsequent movement of water after it exits the pipe. They emphasize the inadequacy of existing resources that treat water as a rigid projectile, highlighting the importance of understanding fluid thread breakup and the transition of water into bubbles due to frictional forces. The user requests recommendations for articles or resources that provide insights into these phenomena.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
  • Knowledge of thermodynamics, specifically air dilatation effects
  • Familiarity with water propulsion mechanics
  • Basic mathematical skills for fluid calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Fluid Thread Breakup in Jet Dynamics" for insights on water behavior
  • Study "Bernoulli's Principle and Its Applications in Fluid Mechanics"
  • Explore "Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Software" for simulation of water movement
  • Investigate "The Effects of Temperature on Fluid Properties" for understanding air-water interactions
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for fluid dynamics researchers, mechanical engineers, and anyone interested in the physics of water fountains and fluid propulsion systems.

I want to study a a kind of fountain based on air dilatation with temperature. Even though the principle of the fountain is simple, the calculations involved are not. I have a hard time doing the math for the process of water propulsion. So I think that analyzing the outcome (the water movement), I might get a better idea of what is going on. What I am precisely asking is if someone knows about some articles that might help me study the movement of water through air after it leaves the pipe.
So far I have found different things on the internet that treat the water as a normal rigid projectile, which in my opinion is useless, because, if you look at a fountain, at first the water flows like through a pipe, then it splits into water bubbles due to the frictional forces.
Could anyone offer me a direction in doing the calculations or point out some articles that might help me.
