Interaction of two nonequal jets
Abstract
The structure of a combined jet that is produced by the interception of two nonequal, free-standing jets, at an interception angle of 100 deg, is examined. Mutual entrainment of air by the two jets creates low pressure upstream of the merging region, which provides a transverse force tending to increase the deflection angle. Due to confluence, however, high pressure is developed in the region which results in an adverse effect on the deflection angle.
