Vector control of two-dimensional turbulent free jet by both-side flaps

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the characteristics of a two-dimensional turbulent jet deflected by the flaps attached at both sides of the nozzle. It was found that the deflection angle was nearly equal to the flap angle when the flap angle was less than the critical angle and it approached the deflection angle for one-side flap. And the length of potential core, decay of maximum velocity and spread of jet were varied with the flap angle, but were unchanged by the flap width.
