Abstract
An experimental investigation of the turbulence structure of a heated plane air jet discharged at various angles into quiescent surroundings is described. Hot-wire anemometry was used to obtain the profiles of mean and turbulent velocities and temperature normal and tangential to the curved path of the flow. Measurements in the buoyancy induced cur ved region of the jet show the relative influence of the stability ind uced by both buoyancy and jet curvature on the turbulence structure.
