Water Nozzle Experiment

Water replaces air in these experiments. The results are even more pronounced, since water is less compressible than air. The force upon a plate with a surface area of a few square inches, fed with normal domestic water pressure can be in the tens of pounds. In addition, a small white ring, indicating cavitation, often appears around the input orifice.  As with the air, all channel patterns adhere except ones that entrain parallel, non expanding flow.
