Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate experimentally
the flow of a jet of air over a curved surface.
Only the area upstream of the point on the surface, where
the flow ceases to follow the curvature, was considered.
Along a longitudinal cross section of the jet, measurements
were taken and the static pressure distribution, velocity
distribution and flow direction were recorded. No close
investigation of the boundary layer at the cylindrical surface
nor of the mixing zone at the free jet boundaries
was made. It was hoped to obtain a criterion as to the
"stability" of the jet, i.e. how long the flow follows the·
curved surface before breaking away.
