The contribution deals with the trimming of beef cattle hooves by means of a new method, specifically with a liquid water jet. Present methods of trimming hooves are outdated; almost nowhere are new modern technologies used for this purpose. The use of more contemporary methods would enable a reduction in the high labour demands to accomplish this task. But the main advantage of this new method is increasing so-called animal WELFARE. Present-day methods which are performed mechanically are always stressful, and many times also painful, for the animal. In the article we will specifically focus on the possibility of trimming the hooves of beef cattle by means of a water jet. The original research was focused on the size of the basic parameters such as pressure, flow, nozzle diameter and cutting time. The results of this initial research serve as a step towards further research, whose goal will be the design and testing of complex equipment for trimming beef cattle hooves by cutting with a liquid water jet.

We study the destabilization of a round liquid jet by a fast annular gas stream. We measure the frequency of the shear instability waves for several geometries and air/water velocities. We then carry out a linear stability analysis, and show that there are three competing mechanisms for the destabilization: a convective instability, an absolute instability driven by surface tension and an absolute instability driven by confinement. We compare the predictions of this analysis with experimental results, and propose scaling laws for wave frequency in each regime. We finally introduce criteria to predict the boundaries between these three regimes.

A hierarchy of models is formulated for the deflection of a thin two-dimensional liquid jet as it passes over a thin air-cushioning layer above a rigid flat impermeable substrate. We perform a systematic derivation of the leading-order equations of motion for the jet in the distinguished limit in which the air pressure jump, surface tension and gravity affect the displacement of the centreline of the jet, but not its thickness or velocity. We identify thereby the axial length scales for centreline deflection in regimes in which the air layer is dominated by viscous or inertial effects. The derived length scales and reduced equations aim to expand the suite of tools available for future analyses of the evolution of lamellae and ejecta in impact problems. Assuming that the jet is sufficiently long that tip and entry effects can be neglected, we demonstrate that the centreline of a constant-thickness jet moving with constant axial speed is destabilised by the air layer for sufficiently small surface tension. Expressions for the fastest-growing modes are obtained in both the viscous-dominated air and inertia-dominated air regimes. For a finite-length jet emanating from a nozzle, we show that, in one particular asymptotic limit, the evolution of the jet centreline is akin to the flapping of an unfurling flag above a thin air layer. We discuss the distinguished limit in which tip retraction can be neglected and perform numerical investigations into the resulting model. We show that the cushioning layer causes the jet centreline to bend, leading to rupture of the air layer. We discuss how our toolbox of models can be adapted and utilised in the context of recent experimental and numerical studies of splash dynamics.

On the basis of analyzing the relationship between filling mould ability and surface tension of Al-Si alloy, a new method was put forward that filling mould ability can be fast evaluated by surface tension. To fast test surface tension of Al-Si alloy in front of furnace, a new apparatus had been developed and a new mould had been designed to appraise the ability of filling acute angle of Al-Si alloy by authors. By means of the self-developed new apparatus and new mould, the relationship between surface tension and filling mould ability had also been proved and gotten by many experiments on Al-Si alloys. Depending on the relationship the filling mould ability of Al-Si alloy can be evaluated by surface tension in few seconds before cast.

The highest effectiveness of heat exchange is under boiling; hence, surface tension is an important parameter and should be determined when new liquid substances are created. The most popular methods are based on numerically solving the Young–Laplace equation by applying the Bashforth and Adams algorithm, which fails at the poles and at the inflection points. The newest algorithm is based on the closed-form expressions that define a drop or bubble. It gives the accurate solutions for the fully created drops or bubbles. To validate it, the surface tension value is determined for the air bubbles in water and compared with the reference data. Because the relative discrepancies are extremely small, the new method may be thought of as positively validated.

Drops formed from the breakup of charged cylindrical liquid jets have been shown to be smaller than those formed in the unelectrified case. This change has been related to electrically induced instabilities on the jet. Small-perturbation analysis was used to formulate the Lagrangian and write the differential equation for the jet. Non-dimensionalized plots of the solutions exhibit the stabilizing or destabilizing influences of surface tension and electric effects, and allow these influences to be related back to liquid physical properties. Drop diameter to be expected from breakup of the electrified jet was calculated as a function of jet diameter, physical properties of the liquid, jet electrification, and the mode of instability dominating the breakup process.

The viscosity-dependence of the velocity coefficient for a free liquid jet, issuing from a sharp-edged orifice, is predicted by computing the dissipation of energy in the boundary layer on the back of the orifice plate. The prediction is upheld by the only known direct measurements of velocity coefficients. The resulting coefficients are much closer to unity for large orifices than they are generally assumed to be. The influence of surface tension on small jets is also explained.
