Title: Research on free and impinging jets for the development of STOL aircraft
Author(s): Foss, J. F.; Kleis, S. J.
Abstract: The effect of the exit plane conditions on the initial region of an axisymmetric jet was systematically investigated. An essentially top-hat mean velocity profile and a homogeneous turbulence structure were maintained at the exit plane for eight distinct scale and intensity conditions. Mass and momentum flux values are independent of the exit turbulence structure for the range investigated; however, a significant (approximately 25%) increase in the latter implies a pronounced static pressure decrement inside the jet. Details of the velocity profile and turbulence structure are influenced by the exit plane conditions. The three radial-axial components of the Reynolds stress tensor have been conditionally sampled and are analyzed to show the initial condition effects.
