Abstract

This paper considers the flow due to a jet spreading out over a plane surface, either radially or in two dimensions. Solutions of the boundary layer equations are sought, according to which the form of the velocity distribution across the jet does not vary along its length. For laminar flow, such a similarity solution is obtained explicitly. For turbulent flow, an eddy viscosity is introduced, and it is eventually seen that complete similarity is not attainable, but that confident predictions can nevertheless be made about the nature of the velocity distribution and the rate of growth of the wall jet.
