18.1 INTRODUCTION TO THREE-DIMENSIONAL FREE JETS
In earlier chapters, we have discussed the behaviour of axisymmetric and
plane jets. Jets issuing from nozzles which are neither axisymmetric nor rec-
tangular, with a very large aspect ratio B/h— where B is the width and h is
the height (equal to 2b) — are referred to herein as three-dimensional jats.
Let us observe the nature of the decay of the center-line velocity for a free
jet from a rectangular nozzle of aspect ratio of, say, 20. If Up and tao are
respectively the efflux and center-line velocities (see Fig. 13-1), the variation
Of tqo/Uy With £/h is shown schematically in Fig, 18-1, where & is the longi-
fudinal distance from the nozzle. The line OA along which tao is constant
and equal to Uy defines the extent of the potential cote region. In the second
region, defined by the line AB, the’central velocity decays with x (where x is
the axial distance from a suitable virtual origin) at a rate roughly the same as
that of plane jets. In the third region, represented by line BC, tmp varies
