Summary

The flow from a high aspect ratio rectangular nozzle has been studied, so as to provide data to aid prediction of the effectiveness of this type of jet flow for acoustic shielding. Flow parameters investigated in both stationary and parallel, coflowing, airstreams, include axial centre-line velocity decay, jet width growth and velocity profile similarity. The existence of significant velocity peaks towards the edge of the jet in the plane of the major axis was observed, together with an unexpected interaction on this jet flow by an adjacent circular and subsonic jet.
