Extract

The rapid growth of interest in fluid logic and control elements has refocused attention on the reattachment of two-dimensional jets to plane surfaces. Of particular interest is the size of the low-pressure bubble enclosed between the jet and the adjacent inclined plane, and the effect on this of fluid velocity and compressibility. Several full studies have been made of such flows, notably by Bourque and Newman, Sawyer and Olson, and the basic characteristics have been well established. Agreement has been reached that bubble length is independent of jet Reynolds number (above 104), but doubts remain as to the best method of measuring the bubble length and also as to the effect of compressibility on this measurement. In order to clear up some of these points for an investigation of compressible flow through control valves, some experimental tests have been carried out on the reattachment of air jets to a plane.
