Abstract

An experiment has been performed to determine the cavity pressure and cavity length for the flow under a curved two-dimensional turbulent jet discharging parallel to a flat plate at some distance from the surface. The measurements agree quite closely with the predictions of a simple analysis of the flow when a value is assigned to the spread parameter for the curved jet which is somewhat different from that for the plane jet.

Detailed pressure and velocity measurements show that the rate of growth of the curved jet is in fact closely similar to that of the plane jet. This suggests that the adjustment of the spread parameter should be regarded simply as a convenient device for taking into account the quantitative errors of the assumptions made in the analysis.
