Extract

The operating characteristics of certain types of fluidic element and fluid control valves are largely determined by the pattern of reattaching flow downstream of a nozzle or an orifice. In the simpler configurations, where a twodimensional (2-D) pattern can be assumed, the flow is similar to that studied by Bourque and Newman and by Sawyer, following on the earlier work of Dodds. These studies were concerned with the reattachment of a 2-D jet emerging from a parallel sided nozzle to an adjacent flat plate, and took into account the effect of turbulent entrainment on the lateral spread of the jet and of pressure difference across the jet on its curvature.
