Abstract
The flow assimilation of a pre-heated jet into non-uniform external streams has been examined. Two possible families of downstream velocity and temper ature profiles are identified. The formulation of the problem allows for a comprehensive numerical solution over the entire flow and temperature field downstream of the jet source. The role of the respective families of downs tream asymptotes is elucidated, and consistency is demonstrated between a s patial stability analysis of the profiles and the numerical results.
