Abstract: The flow field for a low Froude number nonbuoyant rectangular surface jet is studied using laser induced fluorescence and laser Doppler velocimetry. It is shown that a surface current develops in turbulent, but not in ...

Abstract: The turbulence structure of a rectangular surface jet is compared to that of the three-dimensional free and wall jets. The surface jet turbulence quantities are mapped using laser Doppler velocimetry. In general, the ...
