Abstract

We describe a pulsed water cannon in which the compression of the water occurs as a result of a cam located on a flywheel. We pose and solve the variational problem of optimal control of the spray of the pulsed water cannon. The control is the shape of the cam. We compute a way of finding a pressure pulse that is nearly rectangular, providing a uniform fluid flow.
