Summary

The flow in a two-dimensional curved wall jet with different initial gaps between the nozzle exit and the leading edge of the wall was probed at various stations along the jet. The jet slot thickness, the jet exit velocity and the radius of the wall were kept constant. It was found that the region close to the leading edge of the wall behaved like a settling zone. In this zone the type of flow changed from a free jet to a curved wall jet. The length required for settling depended on gap size and was less than that of the plane wall jet. Gap effects on surface pressure distribution and angular position of separation were examined. The hysteresis phenomenon associated with gaps was investigated.
