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.
The development of any inhomogeneous free-turbulence flow in an incompressible fluid is predicted through the use of a general self-preservation hypothesis. The analytical solutions are verified by comparison with experimental data on mean-flow and turbulence characteristics of plane and axisymmetric jets in coaxial parallel flow with and without confinement, of an axisymmetric jet in a cross flow, and of the wake behind a self-propelled body. Emphasis is placed on the distinct turbulence structure of the various flows as revealed by the different axial variations of a shear parameter relating turbulence shear to mean velocity. The satisfactory predictions obtained by the new approach make it appear to have a more general application (e.g., to plumes and wall jets) than the examples chosen might imply. (Author).
The author's first monograph on turbulent jets, in 1936, dealt solely with a free submerged jet. Since that time, the theory of the turbulent jet has been developed in many published works both in the USSR and abroad: it has been enriched with a large amount of experimental material and has been applied in many new fields of engineering. In the last 10 years very substantial progress has been made, and it has now become possible to go beyond the free submerged jet and to solve the problem of a jet in a stream of fluid, to take into account the interaction between the jet and solid walls, to ascertain the relationship between the contour of the jet and the ratio of its density to the density of the surrounding medium, and to establish the characteristic features of a supersonic jet. This monograph contains the results of further research by the author and his colleagues, as well as a critical reappraisal of the more important theoretical and experimental data published by other investigators. The first section deals with the theory of a turbulent jet of incompressible fluid. It gives a systematic analysis of numerous experimental data on velocity profiles, temperature, and the impurity concentration, as well as the outlines of the turbulent mixing lone. The second section sets forth the theory of turbulent gas jets, including strongly preheated and supersonic jets. The theory of free turbulence in a gas, suitable in principle for any degree of compressibility, is revised, and the equations are derived for motion and heat exchange in the boundary layer of a jet at very high temperature. The third section solves several problems of the spreading of jets in finite and semifinite space, and the fourth section describes various applications of the theory of jets, many of which are reported for the first time or have been significantly revised.
