Experimental Study On Transient Gas Jet

This paper presents the experimental study on the characteristics of a transient gas jet. Helium was injected instantaneously into a quiescent atmosphere with constant pressure. The distributions of instantaneous static pressure, radial and axial velocities and concentration at measuring points in the jet, which is obtained by the statistical data processing, are discussed to explain a transient mixture formation in the jet. The analogy between this jet and a diesel spray as for this mixture formation are also discussed by using these results.
