Summary

The velocity and pressure distributions in a flow generated by a thick air jet that throttles a confined airstream have been studied analytically and experimentally. Velocity and pressure measurements were made in a duct with a rectangular cross section of 102 mm height and 19 mm depth, through which air flowed at velocities ranging from 65 to 80 m/s. The airstream was throttled by a thick air jet having velocities ranging from 130 to 150 m/s that entered the mainstream at angles ranging from 60° to 135°. The jet-mainstream contour was found to be elliptical and agreement within six per cent was obtained between the theoretically and experimentally determined maximum height of the contour. Jet spreading was found to be linear. The theory permits determination of the velocity profile in the jet and gives velocities that deviate less than ten per cent from values obtained experimentally.
