Measuring Jet Force on an Inclined Plate

A plane jet striking an inclined plate shows how fluid flow can exert force on a surface. The experiment focuses on how dynamic pressure changes into static pressure at the plate and how that change affects the load on the structure.

Pressure is measured along the plate to build a pressure distri...

Jet impingement on solid structures is a widely used process in technological applications, such as material cutting in the manufacturing industry and energy generation from hydraulic sources. Jet impingement consists of releasing a fluid through a nozzle from a high-pressure region to a low-pressure region and striking or impinging the jet upon...
