 Inviscid falling jet and radial impact film

A steady incompressible jet at atmospheric pressure conserves Bernoulli's equation and volume flux. Its radius contracts as $R=a[u/u_0{]}^{-1/2}$. After impact, a thin nearly horizontal axisymmetric film has $2\pi rhv=\pi a^2{u}_0$. Evaluating Bernoulli's equation on its free surface gives $v^2=u_0^2+2g(H-h)$, hence $a^4/(4r^2{h}^2)=1+2g(H-h)/u_0^2$. This inviscid thin-film description applies away from the impact region and does not describe a dissipative hydraulic jump.
