ABSTRACT

The paper presents results of an experimental study of an averaged flow in the dead end part of a cylindrical chamber with tangential supply of immersed air jet. The flow is shown to consist of large-scale vortical structures "embedded" in one another. Empirical relationships are suggested, describing the geometry of the main peripheral spiral flow and a distribution of axial projections of the average velocity in its characteristic areas.
