This paper documents the sinuous flow of a vertical water column which impinges on a horizontal surface. It is shown experimentally that the solid obstacle buckles the column into a plane sinuous (static) shape whose wavelength scales with the local column diameter. The measured ratio (buckling wavelength)I(column diameter) is of order π/2, in agreement with the buckling theory of inviscid flow. © 1983 by ASME.
