“…The interaction of the relaxation of the boundary layer or turbulent eddies with the free surface tension and acceleration due to gravity generates potentially unstable waves which grow in amplitude downstream and contribute to the jet breakup. Konkachbaev et al [21] observed axis-switching phenomenon in slab jets and explained it as a result of surface tension and corner vortices.…”

“…These instabilities can change the jet shape into a significantly less efficient target for pion production. Tolerance to capillary instabilities can be achieved by an improved nozzle shape that has been proved experimentally for lithium and water jets [4].…”

One very important problem of future high-power colliders, such as the muon collider, is to create an effective and reliable target system that is able to withstand a harsh environment and generate effective high-flux muon beams. Liquid metal jets (pulsed or continuous) are proposed as potential target candidates. Such a proposal poses two critical problems: penetration of a free liquid jet inside the required strong inhomogeneous magnetic field (20 T) and the fragmentation of liquid due to the intense sudden heating by the proton beam and the resultant magnetohydrodynamic instabilities. In this study, we analyzed the dynamic motion of a free liquid metal jet entering a strong inhomogeneous field by using a new two-dimensional numerical model implemented in the HEIGHTS package for arbitrary jet parameters.
