Abstract

Irrotational flow of two-dimensional jets from a channel is treated without direct use of a logarithmic hodograph plane. An analytical approach is introduced for solving the general problem of two jets issuing from a channel with three end plates. Numerical values of the contraction coefficient and the angle of jet deflexion are obtained for the special case where the two jets are located symmetrically and all the end plates are in line. Limiting cases of the resulting single-jet problem are the symmetric and asymmetric configurations solved by von Mises. Results for the asymmetric case improve upon the theoretical values reported by von Mises, and compare favourably with existing experimental data.
