ResumoA study is made of the form taken by a slender jet of water whose only boundary is a free surface. The only forces acting are inertial and gravitational. Attention is paid to the cross-flow velocity components and to the development of the shape of the cross-section of the jet as it progresses. It is established that a jet with initially elliptic cross-sections can remain elliptical, and the variation in the aspect ratio along the jet is determined.
