Abstract
This thesis presents a comparison of the measured and calculated flow field properties of a nozzle of unusual design which was used to produce an incompressible, low Reynolds number ]et. The "nozzle" is essentially a porous metal plate which covers the end. of a pipe. Results are presented for nozzle Reynolds numbers from 50 to 1000 with velocities of 100 or 200 ft/sec. The nozzle produces s, uniform velocity profile at nozzle Reynolds numbers well below those at, which conventional contoured nozzles are completely filled with the boundary layer. A Jet mixing analysis based on the boundary layer equations accurately predicted the flow field over the entire range of Reynolds numbers tested.,
