This paper reports an experimental study of turbulent three-dimensional generic wall jets and offset jets. The jets were created from a long circular pipe. A particle image velocimetry technique was used to conduct velocity measurements in the symmetry plane of the jet. From these measurements, the salient features of the flows are reported in terms of the mean velocities, turbulence intensities and Reynolds shear stresses. The energy spectra and profiles of reconstructed turbulence intensities and Reynolds shear stresses from low order proper orthogonal decomposition modes are also reported.

The mean flow characteristics of three-dimensional, incompressible, isothermal turbulent wall jets generated from orifices having the shapes of various segments of a circle are presented in Part 1 of this paper. In this part, the turbulence characteristics are presented. Turbulence quantities measured include normal stresses and Reynolds shear stresses in the characteristic-decay and in the radial-decay regions of the wall jets investigated. These results are compared with those available for two-dimensional and three-dimensional wall jets. The presence of counter-gradient regions and the feature of “energy reveral” are discussed.

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements were carried out on generic three-dimensional turbulent wall jets. The wall jets were created from a long circular pipe at Reynolds number based on the jet exit velocity (Uj) and inside diameter of pipe (d) of Rej = Ujd/v = 7680 to 19500. The profiles of the mean velocities, turbulence intensities and Reynolds shear stresses in the streamwise/wall-normal and streamwise/lateral planes are presented. Consistent with previous results, the profiles of the mean velocities and turbulent statistics are independent of Reynolds number. The mean velocity attained self-similarity before the turbulence quantities. The decay rate and spread rates obtained in the present study fall in between the values reported in previous studies. The contours of the two-point velocity correlations in the inner region of the 3D wall jet are qualitatively similar to those reported in boundary layer studies. The results from proper orthogonal analysis revealed that large scale structures are largely responsible for the distribution of the streamwise turbulence intensity and Reynolds shear stresses than the distribution of the wall-normal turbulence intensity.
