An Investigation of Confined Vortex Flow Phenomena
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1972)The swirling, incompressible flow within a short vortex chamber of aspect ratio 1/9, defined by the ratio of chamber height to chamber diameter, has been investigated analytically. The theoretical ... -
An Experimental Study of Flows in Planar Nozzles
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1972)The paper describes an experimental investigation of the characteristics of low-Mach number flow of air from four planar nozzles. The nozzles had rectangular (rounded) inlets from a circular ... -
Transverse Oscillations of a Jet in a Jet-Splitter System
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1972)The fundamental transverse oscillations of a liquid jet which impinged upon a flow splitter were examined for a wide range of dimensionless splitter distance, nozzle exit Reynolds number, and ... -
