Experimental Investigation of an Axisymmetric Free Jet with an Initially Uniform Velocity Profile


Book Description

An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the flow characteristics of a circular free helium jet having an initially uniform velocity profile. Complete velocity profiles are presented at Reynolds numbers of 1027 and 4571 at 0, 3, 6, 10, 15, and 20 nozzle diameters (where possible) from the nozzle exit. Centerline velocity decay and potential core length were obtained over a range of Reynolds numbers from 155 to 5349 at distances up to and including 25 nozzle diameters from the nozzle exit. The angles of spread associated with the diffusion of the jet downstream of the nozzle are also given. Axial jet momentum flux and entrained mass flux, at various distances downstream of the nozzle, are presented as a function of the jet Reynolds number.




Experimental Investigation of an Axisymmetric Fully Developed Laminar Free Jet


Book Description

An experimental investigation was conducted to determine dynamic characteristics of a circular, fully developed, laminar free jet. Complete velocity profiles are presented at Reynolds numbers of 437 and 1839 at 0, 3, 6, 10, 15, and 25 diameters from the nozzle exit. Centerline velocity decay was obtained over a range of Reynolds numbers from 255 to 1839. Also presented are the angles of spread associated with the diffusion of the jet downstream of the nozzle. Where possible, results are compared with those obtained for laminar jets having an initially flat or uniform velocity profile at the nozzle exit.
