Extract

An experimental investigation into the wall jets created by a single inclined, twin inclined and a four inclined jet impingement arrangement is described. Wall jet velocity profiles were recorded at various azimuthal and radial locations for a range of nozzle heights at jet pressures representative of current V/Stol technology. Use was made of wall jet properties established for a normal jet impingement to provide a means of comparing the attributes of the various configurations. Non-splayed twin inclined impinging jets generate symmetry plane reinforcement and weakening in regions remote from the interaction. Splayed jet geometries show significant height effects on ground plane flow development. The four-jet configuration also demonstrates velocity reinforcement at the lines of wall jet interaction, together with a weakening of the flows remote from the interaction planes. Reinforcement velocities for the four-jet case are significantly lower than those expected from the constituent twin-jet flows.
