AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF TURBULENT, INCOMPRESSIBLE, THREE-DIMENSIONAL WALL JET.

Abstract

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the bulk properties of a turbulent, three-dimensional, incompressible air wall jet issuing into a quiescent air ambient from a rectangular orifice parallel to and at the surface of a flat plate. Results of this study indicate the characteristic features of such a dissipative flow. The behavior of a three-dimensional flow field of this nature has associated with it three distinct regions in the axis velocity decay with an approach to the flow field of a radial wall jet far downstream of the jet exit and on the centerline of the flow. Spreading rates in the various cross planes display a dependence upon the aforementioned characteristic regions. (Author)
