Abstract
Fluttering oscillations are sometimes observed in the falling sheets of water associated with dams and waterfall fountains, and a theoretical simulation of this phenomenon was recently reported. In this study approximate analytical solutions of the previous model are described and compared with the experimental and theoretical observations.
