Abstract

This paper studies the impinging of two ideal fluid jets. The usual two-dimensional model of jet flow uses an ideal, incompressible, weightless fluid to describe these impinging jets, so that the problem becomes one of complex analysis which seems to have an infinite number of analytical solutions, except for direct jet impacts. The new approach presented here is based on the construction of a dividing line between the two jets. It gives an efficient procedure for solving this problem numerically when the jets flow in arbitrary directions and the solution obtained seems to be unique.
