Notes:
Two-dimensional normal impinging jet flowfields, with or without an upper plate, were analysed by employing an implicit bidiagonal numerical method developed by Lavante and Thompkins Jr. The Jones-Launder K-∊ two-equation turbulent model was employed to study the turbulent effects of the impinging jet flowfield. The upper plate surface pressure, the ground plane pressure and other physical parameters of the momentum flowfield were calculated at various jet exit height and jet inlet Reynolds numbers. These results were compared with those of Beam and Warming's numerical method, Hsiao and Chuang, and others, along with experimental data. The potential core length of the impinging jet without an upper plate is longer than that of the free jet because of the effects of the ground plane, while the potential core length of the impinging jet with an upper plate is shorter than that of the free jet because of the effects of the upper plate. This phenomenon in the present analysis provides a fundamental numerical study of an impinging jet and a basis for further analysis of impinging jet flowfields on a variable angle plate.
