Abstract Free liquid jets are of great technical importance in a variety of applications like ink-jet printing, glass painting, spray coating and metal cutting. Here we consider the changes induced in the dynamics of such jets by the presence of obstructions at the tube exit. Using stainless steel bars of 1.5 mm diameter as obstruction objects and aqueous solutions of glycerol of varying concentrations as working fluids, we performed experiments for different configurations, including a single rod at the centre of the tube exit, two parallel rods equidistant from the centre of the tube, and a 10 mesh screen.
