Summary

Experiments are reported of the self-preserving turbulent corner wall jet formed by directing a jet of air parallel to the line of intersection of two walls abutting at right angles. Self preserving profiles of the mean and turbulent flow are established by approximately 50 jet diameters downstream. Like the three-dimensional wall jet on a plane-wall surface there is evidence of a significant secondary flow induced by vortex line bending, though its magnitude is smaller than in the plane-wall case.
