When sonic air jet from a nozzle over water surface is exhausted toward perpendicular direction, water is sucked toward the jet and atomized. In the present study this flow state was visualized by a high-speed video camera. As the results it was clarified that sucked water flow is classified into four states depending on the distance between the nozzle exit and water surface and exhaust pressure. Also, exhaust pressure by which successive water suction is attained becomes smaller with smaller distance. Furthermore, the lower limit of exhaust pressure by which water is sucked exists for each distance.
