In this note we derive an implicit representation of the solution to the problem of plane, inviscid, irrotational flow from a symmetric nozzle of arbitrary wall shape. For the case in which the nozzle wall has a slope which is everywhere much less than unity, we are able to convert this implicit representation into an explicit one in an asymptotic sense (based upon the smallness of the wall slope). Particular attention is paid to the contraction ratio of the jet. This work is complementary to that of Lesser [2] and Larock [l].
