Abstract We consider a steady submerged laminar jet of viscous incompressible fluid flowing out of a tube and propagating along a solid plane surface. The numerical solution of Navier–Stokes equations is obtained in the stationary three-dimensional formulation. The hypothesis that at large distances from the tube exit the flowfield is described by the self-similar solution of the parabolized Navier–Stokes equations is confirmed. The asymptotic expansions of the self-similar solution are obtained for small and large values of the coordinate in the jet cross-section. Using the numerical solution the self-similarity exponent is determined. An explicit dependence of the self-similar solution on the Reynolds number and the conditions in the jet source is determined.
