Some of the novel features of non-circular asymmetric turbulent jet flows a
re introduced. The computational methods employed to verify those features
are outlined and details about the differences in power levels are presente
d. Typical applications of asymmetric nozzles to mixing and cleaning are di
scussed. Significant advantages over standard circular nozzles are shown in
some cases. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
