Reasonable agreements were obtained between the experimental and numerical results for orifices and slots with openings of the order of 1 mm size, but not with those of 10 µm or less. The experimental results were found to be well below the predictions for apertures of the order of 10 µm. The difference between the numerically calculated and the measured thrusts/reactions for the small apertures was found to be proportional to the square of the mean velocity. Several possible causes for the observed reduction in jet thrust/reaction in small apertures were examined, but none of them could adequately explain the flow anomaly.}, pages = {053102-1--053102-8}, title = {Anomalous reduction in thrust/reaction of water jets issuing from microapertures}, volume = {19}, year = {2007} }
