Steady incompressible jet flow—an engineer's guide

Abstract

The literature on jets is extensive but scattered. A concise guide is needed, and this paper attempts (at the risk of over‐simplification) to summarise some of the available information, both theoretical and experimental (some of it obtained in the Department of Mechanical Engineering) on those jet properties which are important in engineering — velocity profile and decay, spread, entrainment and static pressure.
