Summary

The behaviour of a plane jet issuing in the neighbourhood of a plane wall has been studied experimentally. Such arrangements may find application in jet augmented flaps for STOL aircraft development. The essential features of this configuration are the gap between the wall and the jet nozzle, permitting entrainment of secondary flow, and the inclination of the plane wall with respect to the nozzle axis.

Measurements of velocity profiles, wall static pressure distributions and turbulence intensities reveal the presence of extensive regions of low pressure over the wall, strong pressure gradients resulting in the highly curved flow, a fair degree of self-preservation of the mean velocities, but no particularly unusual features observed in the turbulence quantities. The size of the gap, the wall angle and the wall length all influence the reattachment location, and limits of gap, angle and length for which reattachment occurs are shown. The sub-ambient static pressure regions give rise to significant forces on the wall; these forces are primarily due to the entrainment feature.
