so that PT = c/12π, and the curve AP is the tractrix; and the coefficient of contraction, or
breadth of the jet | = | π | . |
breadth of the orifice | π + 2 |
A change of Ω and θ into nΩ and nθ will give the solution for two walls converging symmetrically to the orifice AA1 at an angle π/n. With n = 12, the reentrant walls are given of Borda’s mouthpiece, and the coefficient of contraction becomes 12. Generally, by making a′ = −∞, the line x′A′ may be taken as a straight stream line of infinite length, forming an axis of symmetry; and then by duplication the result can be obtained, with assigned n, a, and b, of the efflux from a symmetrical converging mouthpiece, or of the flow of water through the arches of a bridge, with wedge-shaped piers to divide the stream.

42. Other arrangements of the constants n, a, b, a′ will give the results of special problems considered by J. M. Michell, Phil. Trans. 1890.
Thus with a′ = 0, a stream is split symmetrically by a wedge of angle π/n as in Bobyleff’s problem; and, by making a = ∞, the wedge extends to infinity; then
ch nΩ = √ | b | , sh nΩ = √ | n | . |
b − u | b − u |
Over the jet surface ψ = m, q = Q,
ch Ω = cos nθ = √ | 1 | , sh Ω = i sin nθ = i √ | eπs/c | , |

e12πs/c = tan nθ, | 12π | ds | = | 2n | . | |

For a jet impinging normally on an infinite plane, as in fig. 6, n = 1,
With n = 12, the jet is reversed in direction, and the profile is the catenary of equal strength.
In Bobyleff’s problem of the wedge of finite breadth,
ch nΩ = √ | b | √ | u − a | , sh nΩ = √ | b − a | √ | u | , |
a | u − b | a | u − b |
cos nα = √ | b | , sin nα = √ | a − b | , |
a | a |
and along the free surface APJ, q = Q, ψ = 0, u = e−πφ/m = aeπs/c,
cos nθ = cos nα √ | eπ2/c − 1 | , |
eπ2/c − cos2 nα |
eπ2/c = | cos2 nα sin2 nθ | , |
sin2 nθ − sin2 nα |
the intrinsic equation, the other free surface A′P′J′ being given by
eπ2/c = | cos2 nα sin2 nθ | , |
sin2 nα − sin2 nθ |
Putting n = 1 gives the case of a stream of finite breadth disturbed
by a transverse plane, a particular case of Fig. 7.
When a = b, α = 0, and the stream is very broad compared with the wedge or lamina; so, putting w = w′(a − b)/a in the penultimate case, and
ch nΩ = | w′ + 1 | , sh nΩ = | 1 | , |
w′ | √ w′ |
in which we may write
Along the stream line xABPJ, ψ = 0; and along the jet surface APJ, −1 > φ > −∞; and putting φ = −πs/c − 1, the intrinsic equation is
which for n = 1 is the evolute of a catenary.

43. When the barrier AA′ is held oblique to the current, the stream line xB is curved to the branch point B on AA′ (fig. 7), and so must be excluded from the boundary of u; the conformal representation is made now with

π | u − j·u − j ′ |
b = | mj ′ + m′j | , |

taking u = ∞ at the source where
φ = ∞, u = b at the branch point B, u = j, j ′ at the end of the two
diverging streams where φ = −∞; while ψ = 0 along the stream
line which divides at B and passes through A, A′; and ψ = m, −m′
along the outside boundaries, so that m/Q, m′/Q is the final breadth
of the jets, and (m + m′)/Q is the initial breadth, c1 of the impinging
stream. Then

Along a jet surface, q = Q, and
if θ = α at the source x of the jet xB, where u = ∞; and supposing θ = β, β′ at the end of the streams where u = j, j ′,

attention to the sign.

with a similar expression for BA′.
The motion of a jet impinging on an infinite barrier is obtained by putting j = a, j ′ = a′; duplicated on the other side of the barrier, the motion reversed will represent the direct collision of two jets of unequal breadth and equal velocity. When the barrier is small compared with the jet, α = β = β′, and G. Kirchhoff’s solution is obtained of a barrier placed obliquely in an infinite stream.
Two corners B1 and B2 in the wall xA, with a′ = −∞, and n = 1, will give the solution, by duplication, of a jet issuing by a reentrant mouthpiece placed symmetrically in the end wall of the channel; or else of the channel blocked partially by a diaphragm across the middle, with edges turned back symmetrically, problems discussed by J. H. Michell, A. E. H. Love and M. Réthy.
