Abstract

The solution to the steady problem of an inviscid jet emerging from a symmetric nozzle of slowly varying profile is sought as an asymptotic series in the wall slope. The expansion of the solution in the region near the nozzle lip is singular at infinity, so that a matched expansion technique is evolved to solve the problem. To the order to which the solution is obtained in the present paper, the jet contraction ratio is shown to be the same as that from a nozzle formed by two inclined planes with inclination angle the same as the exit slope of the nozzle. Composite expansions are formed and used to check the consistency of expansion and matching procedures.
