Counter jet stagnation flows

The present paper concerns the stagnation flow produced by counter flowing air jets. Little experimental information exists on such flows in spite of their extensive employment in the theoretical treatment of diffusion flames. To remedy this situation, laser-Doppler measurements were performed to quantify the entire flow field. The experiments are described and the results of the velocity measurements presented. Differences between the investigated flow field and the ideal flow field, employed in theoretical studies, are pointed out.
