Abstract

In the flow-establishment region of an air jet issuing with an efflux velocity of about 35 ft./sec from a 1.0 ft. diameter nozzle into still air, measurements were made of mean axial and radial velocities, mean static pressure, turbulence intensities, turbulent shear, and pressure fluctuation. For the measurement of the latter a pressure probe using a ceramic piezo-electric tube was developed. Also included in the measurements were the temporal mean gradient and autocorrelation of the axial-velocity fluctuation and the intermittency factor. The fluctuating-pressure and turbulence-intensity fields were observed to be closely similar in form. Through use of the measured distributions of mean-flow and turbulence characteristics, all terms of the integral and differential forms of the momentum and mean-energy equations were evaluated throughout the region. The results are presented herein by curves of variation of each of the terms as they appear in the corresponding equations.
