NJIT eTD::njit-etd1969-002::Lee, David Tzeh-Hsian::"Experimental investigation of submerged, incompressible, turbulent, impinging jets"

Measurements concerning various flow parameters of jets impinging on a smooth lucite plate and a heated metal plate have been carried out. In particular, it is shown that the potential core length of a jet is a function of the Reynolds number and of the jet diameter. It has also been demonstrated that impinging jets behave in many important respects like free jets, except in the immediate vicinity of the target plate.

The flow behavior in the wall jet zone was investigated experimentally, and a satisfactory agreement with the results of the previous investigators was found. The maximum velocity decay parameters for a radial wall jet were also investigated analytically, and appear in a good agreement with the experimental results.

It has also been demonstrated that impinging jets behave in many important respects like free jets, except in the immediate vicinity of the target plate. The flow behavior in the wall jet zone was investigated experimentally, and a satisfactory agreement with the results of the previous investigators was found.
