The present study reports numerical analysis of turbulent jets. Effects of various parameters on the characteristics of two-dimensional turbulent plane parallel and offset jets are investigated. The emphasis is put on the effect of the wall angle and nozzle width on the location merging and the combining points. The flowfield under consideration are two-parallel plane jets and offset jets issued from plane wall. Four angles and three values of the nozzle width are used. Also, different values of Reynolds number between 9000 and 41000 have been examined. It is noted that the wall angle and the nozzle width affect the location of the merging and the combining points, while Reynolds number plays no role in their location. The effect of the wall angle on the reattachment point is found to be non linear.
