Abstract
One example of a flow with a free boundary is that of a jet of fluid travelling through a region of constant pressure. There are two typical situations which are shown in Figure. The first is a jet impinging on a fixed wall and the second is a jet emerging from a hole in the wall of a large reservoir. These situations may either be two or three-dimensional, but we can make more analytical progress in the two-dimensional case.
