Notes:
The results of an analytical and experimental study of compressible, axially symmetric, turbulent free jets exhausting into quiescent air are presented. A finite-difference technique was used to obtain a general solution which has eliminated the need for the simplifying assumptions required in previous investigations. The jet Mach number and jet temperature ratio have been found to be the only two initial jet properties which are necessary to characterize the dimensionless velocity and temperature variations in this type of jet. Modifications of dynamic eddy transfer coefficients given in the literature are used in the solution An experimental program was carried out to obtain data on free jet velocity and temperature variation at high initial jet temperatures and high subsonic Mach numbers where there has been a lack of experimental data. The numerical solutions of the time-averaged conservation equations have been shown to agree well with the experimental data of the present study and of previous investigations.
