The fluid motion physics: The interaction mechanics of a free liquid jet   with a body and with the other free liquid jet
  Solution of a problem on the interaction mechanics of a free liquid jet with a flat plate, body and with other jet has been achieved by means of a graphic-analytical method, developed by author of the given article. This method has allowed physically adequately and visually to describe the flow field near the streamlined surface and to give expressions for quantitative evaluation of the jet pressure profile onto this surface. This method is equally correct for both a flat jet and a jet with a round cross-section. Analysis of the flow field has allowed to detect a jet component, induced by the body fore part in the unrestricted fluid stream and determining the body form drag. Besides that, it has been ascertained that a friction also induces the jet component in the potential boundary layer. It has been introduced a new notion of the stream total head vector, determining an origin of the possible jet flow in the stream.
