Extract

The wall jet is described as a jet of fluid which issues to a wall at an angle from 0 to 90 degrees and grows along the wall in a surrounding stationary or moving fluid of infinite extent. The plane turbulent wall jet issuing tangentially to a smooth wall surrounded by the same fluid of infinite extent at rest is known as the classical wall jet and is explained in Fig. 1.

Considering the importance of the phenomenon in explaining some of the practical hydraulic engineering problems like submerged flows from outlets and other problems like paper drying and rocket exhaust effects, it would be helpful to analyse the problem more rationally. The purpose of this note is to present a method to analyse the flow mechanism in a wall jet consistent with the physical situation of the problem.
