A conceptual model is presented for submerged, axisymmetric, turbulent impinging jets which allows for fluid entrainment and, thus, variable flow conditions before deflection. Flow in the impingement region becomes a function of nozzle height, and measured axial velocities and pressure distributions can be generalized for similar jet profiles. Mean velocity in the deflecting jet near the centerline can be approximately described by an inviscid solution. Wall transfer processes are predicted by properly scaling previous boundary layer solutions and measured pressure distributions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
