Extract

The force on a plane wire screen at right angles to the axis of a fully-developed, turbulent and effectively two-dimensional and incompressible jet has been determined. This study was suggested by the use of perforated surfaces in the operation of aircraft. Perforated landing and takeoff pads are used to reduce adverse ground effect, and the re-ingestion of burnt gases, on VTOL aircraft with centrally-located, downward-pointing jets. Perforated baffles are occasionally used to attenuate jet speeds during ground testing of conventional jet aircraft. The study is also relevant to a process in the making of paper. The pulp and water mixture is deposited on a moving screen (Fourdrinier wire), and the jet approaches the screen at an oblique angle.
