A study was made of the reattachment of an incompressible, two-dimensional turbulent jet to an inclined surface in streaming flow, when the main stream is uniform and parallel to the surface. It was found that the flow is uniquely determined by the angle of blowing relative to the surface and the ratio of the jet-to-streaming-flow velocity, and is independent of the jet Reynolds number when the latter exceeds 6000. The width of the slot and the thickness of the upstream boundary layer do not affect the reattachment distance when their respective lengths are small in comparison with the length of the plate downstream of the slot. The flow is sensibly unaffected by the addition of roughness to the plate as long as this covers the entire surface near the separation bubble. Exploratory measurements were also made of the effect of a nonuniform streaming flow with constant adverse pressure gradient. An analysis of the flow for constant pressure is proposed and is used to extend the experimental results to other jet angles. (Author).

A study is reported of the two-dimensional turbulent jet reattachment phenomenon. The flow field between jet exhaust and reattachment has been studied for the case where a plane wall, parallel to the nozzle axis, exists near a jet issuing from the nozzle. The two-dimensional boundary layer equations, including curvature effects, are employed in the analysis and these equations are solved using the method of weighted residuals. The model developed is used to study the location of the reattachment point, the wall pressure distributions, velocity profiles and pressure distributions for the flow field described above. (Author).
