| Abstract | The characteristics of flow through a two-dimensional orifice with sharp-edged lateral-constriction plates placed unsymmetrically normal to the flow were derived theoretically in three cases:
Case I: General two-dimensional orifice with slot in arbitrary position
Case II: Symmetrical two-dimensional slot
Case III: Two-dimensional slot at the side of the approach channel
The Helmholtz–Kirchhoff theory is applicable for all three cases. The analysis consists of successive conformal transformations involving the hodograph (velocity) plane and the application of the Schwarz–Christoffel transformation.
Case I was solved in principle, but numerical computations were not carried out. The solution for Case II checked with that of Von Mises. The coefficient of contraction and the angle of deflection of the jet calculated for Case III Checked closely with the experimental values obtained by Sumana. |
