Abstract
A particle image velocimetry technique was employed to study three-dimensional laminar wall jet flows of a non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluid. The wall jet was created using a circular pipe of diameter 7 mm and flows into an open channel. The Reynolds numbers based on the pipe diameter and jet exit velocity were varied from 250 to 800. The PIV measurements were performed in various streamwise-transverse and streamwise-spanwise planes. From these measurements, the velocity profiles, jet growth rate and spread rates were obtained to study the characteristics of three-dimensional wall jet flows of a non-Newtonian fluid.
