Investigation Of Velocity Distribution Within High Speed Waterjet, Hong Cao Jan 1995

Investigation Of Velocity Distribution Within High Speed Waterjet, Hong Cao

Theses

The aim of this research was to investigate velocity distribution within the water jet at different conditions of jet formation. The water jet (WJ) velocity was measured by the use of Laser Transit Anemometer (LTA) and statistical technique which improved the accuracy of the velocity determination.

The velocities were measured for different diameters of the sapphire nozzle under different water pressures at different axial stand off distances and radial distances across the jet. The experiments performed in this study enabled us to evaluate the effects and conditions of the water jet on the velocity distribution. The acquired results provide information …
