An Experimental Investigation of the Efficiency and Entrainment Rates of a Fluidically Oscillated Jet

Abstract

A study was made of the nozzle efficiency and entrainment rates of jets which were made to oscillate by fluidic means. The entrainment rates were determined using conventional pitot-static tubes which indicated significant increases for the oscillatory jet versus the steady jet. Also, work was started to verify these results using the Ricou-Spalding entrainment chamber.
