Nearly all the energy loss takes place when the incoming jet is reflected by the   bath. This energy loss is due to a frictional force as the jet is reflected by the   surface plus the energy required to deform the surface of the bath (Fig. 1.). The   frictional force is small because the tra  pped air layer provides a low coefficient   of friction. The majority of the energy loss comes from deforming the surface of   the bath. This can be seen in the “slingshot effect.”
