Turbulent Jet Flow Visualization

Flometrics designed a medical device that uses a turbulent jet to mix medication. This is an example of laser sheet light flow visualization that was used to show the nature of the jet in the actual environment. Some proprietary features of the design are not shown. A video is also available (mpg 750 K)

The pressure of the jet as a function of downstream and off axis distance was measured and found to be near that predicted by the literature. (Sketch from Applied Fluid Dynamics Handbook, by Robert Blevins, ISBN 157524182X ).
