Extract

A previous discussion of the expanding flow of a choked axi-symmetric jet into a stationary atmosphere drew attention to the differences between various existing sets of observations and between observation and analysis. One reason advanced for these discrepancies was the influence of the mixing region at the edge of the jet while another was the degree of uniformity and steadiness of the flow at exit from the nozzle.
