Summary

Wind-tunnel experiments were conducted to determine the interference characteristics of an inclined turbulent jet exhausting from a flat plate into a turbulent subsonic crosswind. The jet was not yawed with respect to the undisturbed free stream. The suction force (lift loss), the jet penetration into the crosswind, the jet deflection and the rate of total pressure decay along the jet centre line were all reduced by an increase in the inclination of the jet. The centre of pressure moved downstream. These results were attributed to a decrease in the entrainment rate of the jet as the inclination increased in a downstream direction.
