In a recent paper, Vanden‐Broeck computed the shape of a two‐dimensional jet emerging from a vertical nozzle [Phys. Fluids27, 1090 (1984)]. He showed that the slope of the free surface at the separation points is either horizontal or vertical. Here the local behavior of the flow in the neighborhood of the separation point is investigated. It is shown that an additional solution with a 120 degree angle is also possible.
